We have adorned the heaven of utterance with the stars of
divine wisdom and holy ordinances as a bounty on Our part. Verily, We are the
Ever-Forgiving, the Most Generous. O friends of God throughout the regions!
Know ye the value of these days and cling unto whatsoever hath been sent down
from God, the Most Great, the Most Exalted. Verily, He remembereth you in the
Most Great Prison, and instructeth you in that which will cause you to draw
nigh unto a station that delighteth the eyes of the pure in heart. Glory rest
upon you and upon those who have attained unto that living fountain which
floweth forth from My wondrous Pen.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by the Universal House
of Justice in a letter dated 28 December 1999)
