All praise be to the one true God—exalted be His
glory—inasmuch as He hath, through the Pen of the Most High, unlocked the doors
of men’s hearts. Every verse which this Pen hath revealed is a bright and
shining portal that discloseth the glories of a saintly and pious life, of pure
and stainless deeds.
- Baha’u’llah (Lawh-i-Dunya [Tablet of the World]; ‘Tablets
of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
