Lay aside thy desire, and set then thine heart towards thy
Lord, the Ancient of Days. We make mention of thee for the sake of God, and
desire that thy name may be exalted through thy remembrance of God, the Creator
of earth and heaven. He, verily, is
witness unto that which I say.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Queen Victoria,
Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
