Those who have rejected God and firmly cling to Nature as it
is in itself are, verily, bereft of knowledge and wisdom. They are truly of
them that are far astray. They have failed to attain the lofty summit and have
fallen short of the ultimate purpose; therefore their eyes were shut and their
thoughts differed, while the leaders among them have believed in God and in His
invincible sovereignty. Unto this beareth witness thy Lord, the Help in Peril,
the Self-Subsisting.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
