Say: O people! The Lamp of God is burning; take heed, lest
the fierce winds of your disobedience extinguish its light. Now is the time to
arise and magnify the Lord, your God. Strive not after bodily comforts, and
keep your heart pure and stainless. The Evil One is lying in wait, ready to
entrap you. Gird yourselves against his wicked devices, and, led by the light
of the name of the one true God, deliver yourselves from the darkness that
surroundeth you. Center your thoughts in the Well-Beloved, rather than in your
own selves.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
