Praise be to God that whatever is essential for the
believers in this Revelation to be told has been revealed. Their duties have
been clearly defined, and the deeds they are expected to perform have been
plainly set forth in Our Book. Now is the time for them to arise and fulfil
their duty. Let them translate into deeds the exhortations We have given them.
Let them beware lest the love they bear God, a love that glows so brightly in
their hearts, cause them to transgress the bounds of moderation, and to
overstep the limits We have set for them.
- Baha'u'llah (Words of Baha’u’llah to some
pilgrims and a few resident believers who were admitted into His presence on
January 8, 1889, quoted by Nabil in the ‘Dawn-Breakers, translated and edited
by Shoghi Effendi)
