Say, ye will be unable to recognize the One True God or to
discern clearly the words of divine guidance, inasmuch as ye seek and tread a
path other than His. Whenever ye learn that a new Cause hath appeared, ye must
seek the presence of its author and must delve into his writings that haply ye
may not be debarred from attaining unto Him Whom God shall make manifest at the
hour of His manifestation. Wert thou to walk in the way of truth as handed down
by them that are endowed with the knowledge of the inmost reality, God, thy
Lord, will surely redeem thee on the Day of Resurrection. Verily He is potent over
all things.
- The Báb (‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb’)
