O my brother! A divine Mine only can yield the gems of
divine knowledge, and the fragrance of the mystic Flower can be inhaled only in
the ideal Garden, and the lilies of ancient wisdom can blossom nowhere except
in the city of a stainless heart. “In a rich soil, its plants spring forth
abundantly by permission of its Lord, and in that soil which is bad, they
spring forth but scantily.” (Qur’an 7:57)
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
