He is truly wise whom the world and all that is therein have
not deterred from recognizing the light of this Day, who will not allow men’s
idle talk to cause him to swerve from the way of righteousness. He is indeed as
one dead who, at the wondrous dawn of this Revelation, hath failed to be
quickened by its soul-stirring breeze. He is indeed a captive who hath not
recognized the Supreme Redeemer, but hath suffered his soul to be bound,
distressed and helpless, in the fetters of his desires.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
