Know thou that though My body be beneath the swords of My
foes, and My limbs be beset with incalculable afflictions, yet My spirit is
filled with a gladness with which all the joys of the earth can never compare.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Czar Alexander II, Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple];
‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
