The Day Star of Divine Revelation, that shineth in the
plenitude of its glory in the heaven of this Prison, beareth Me witness. They
whose hearts are turned towards Him Who is the Object of the adoration of the
entire creation must needs, in this Day, pass beyond and be sanctified from all
created things, visible and invisible. If they arise to teach My Cause, they
must let the breath of Him Who is the Unconstrained, stir them and must spread
it abroad on the earth with high resolve, with minds that are wholly centered
in Him, and with hearts that are completely detached from and independent of
all things, and with souls that are sanctified from the world and its vanities.
It behoveth them to choose as the best provision for their journey reliance
upon God, and to clothe themselves with the love of their Lord, the Most
Exalted, the All-Glorious. If they do so, their words shall influence their
hearers.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
