The first utterance of Him Who is the All-Wise is this: O
children of dust! Turn your faces from the darkness of estrangement to the
effulgent light of the daystar of unity. This is that which above all else will
benefit the peoples of the earth. O friend! Upon the tree of utterance there
hath never been, nor shall there ever be, a fairer leaf, and beneath the ocean
of knowledge no pearl more wondrous can ever be found.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The
Tabernacle of Unity’)
