O Essence of Desire! At many a dawn have I turned from the
realms of the Placeless unto thine abode, and found thee on the bed of ease
busied with others than Myself. Thereupon, even as the flash of the spirit, I
returned to the realms of celestial glory and breathed it not in My retreats
above unto the hosts of holiness.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Hidden Words of
Baha’u’llah’)
