Blessed be the king whom the veils of glory have not
deterred from turning unto the Dayspring of beauty and who hath forsaken his
all in his desire to obtain the things of God. He, indeed, is accounted in the
sight of God as the most excellent of men, and is extolled by the inmates of
paradise and them that circle morn and eve round the Throne on high.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Czar Alexander II, Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple];
‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
