O Shaykh! Tell the people of the Bayán: “Ponder ye these
blessed words. He saith: ‘The whole of the Bayán is only a leaf amongst the
leaves of His Paradise.’ Be fair, O people, and be not of such as are accounted
as lost in the Book of God, the Lord of the worlds.” The blessed Lote-Tree
standeth, in this day, before thy face, laden with heavenly, with new and
wondrous fruits. Gaze on it, detached from all else save it. Thus hath the
Tongue of might and power spoken at this Spot which God hath adorned with the
footsteps of His Most Great Name and Mighty Announcement.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)
