O Shaykh! [1] Seek thou the shore of the Most Great Ocean,
and enter, then, the Crimson Ark which God hath ordained in the Qayyúm-i-Asmá
for the people of Bahá. Verily, it passeth over land and sea. He that entereth
therein is saved, and he that turneth aside perisheth.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle
to the Son of the Wolf’)
[1] Shaykh Muhammad-Taqi, a son of Shaykh Muhammad-Baqir who
was stigmatized by Baha’u’llah as 'Wolf'. He was an inveterate enemy and
formidable opponent of the Cause of Bahá'u'lláh.
