Such is to be the restraint you should exercise that if you
be made to quaff from the well-springs of faith and certitude all the rivers of
knowledge, your lips must never be allowed to betray, to either friend or stranger,
the wonder of the draught of which you have partaken. Though your heart be
aflame with His love, take heed lest any eye discover your inner agitation, and
though your soul be surging like an ocean, suffer not the serenity of your
countenance to be disturbed, nor the manner of your behaviour to reveal the
intensity of your emotions.
- 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)
