Beware lest aught that hath been revealed in the Bayán
should keep you from your Lord, the Most Compassionate. God is My witness that
the Bayán was sent down for no other purpose than to celebrate My praise, did
ye but know! In it the pure in heart will find only the fragrance of My love,
only My Name that overshadoweth all that seeth and is seen. Say: Turn ye, O
people, unto that which hath proceeded from My Most Exalted Pen. Should ye
inhale therefrom the fragrance of God, set not yourselves against Him, nor deny
yourselves a portion of His gracious favour and His manifold bestowals. Thus
doth your Lord admonish you; He, verily, is the Counsellor, the Omniscient.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
