He [1] should consume every wayward thought with the flame
of His loving mention, and, with the swiftness of lightning, pass by all else
save Him. He should succour the dispossessed, and never withhold his favour
from the destitute. He should show kindness to animals, how much more unto his
fellow-man, to him who is endowed with the power of utterance. He should not
hesitate to offer up his life for his Beloved, nor allow the censure of the
people to turn him away from the Truth.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
[1] The seeker in search of “the Ancient of Days”
