It is clear and evident that all men shall, after their
physical death, estimate the worth of their deeds, and realize all that their
hands have wrought. I swear by the Day Star that shineth above the horizon of
Divine power! They that are the followers of the one true God shall, the moment
they depart out of this life, experience such joy and gladness as would be
impossible to describe, while they that live in error shall be seized with such
fear and trembling, and shall be filled with such consternation, as nothing can
exceed. Well is it with him that hath quaffed the choice and incorruptible wine
of faith through the gracious favor and the manifold bounties of Him Who is the
Lord of all Faiths....
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Baha’u’llah’)
