Whoso turneth towards God must distinguish himself from
others by his every deed, and follow that which hath been enjoined upon him in
the Book. Thus hath it been decreed in a lucid Tablet. Those, however, who cast
behind their backs the commandments of God, and follow the prompting of their
own desires, are, verily, in grievous error.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to
Nasiri’d-Din Shah, Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord
of Hosts’)
