“God”, said He, [the Báb] “is My witness, O people! I am
come to you with a Revelation from the Lord, your God, the Lord of your fathers
of old. Look not, O people, at the things ye possess. Look rather at the things
God hath sent down unto you. This, surely, will be better for you than the
whole of creation, could ye but perceive it. Repeat the gaze, O people, and
consider the testimony of God and His proof which are in your possession, and
compare them unto the Revelation sent down unto you in this Day, that the
truth, the infallible truth, may be indubitably manifested unto you. Follow
not, O people, the steps of the Evil One; follow ye the Faith of the
All-Merciful, and be ye of them that truly believe. What would it profit man,
if he were to fail to recognize the Revelation of God? Nothing whatever. To
this Mine own Self, the Omnipotent, the Omniscient, the All-Wise, will
testify.”
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
