We exhort mankind in these days when the countenance of
Justice is soiled with dust, when the flames of unbelief are burning high and
the robe of wisdom rent asunder, when tranquillity and faithfulness have ebbed
away and trials and tribulations have waxed severe, when covenants are broken
and ties are severed, when no man knoweth how to discern light and darkness or
to distinguish guidance from error.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah
revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
