Who is there among you, O people, who will renounce the
world, and draw nigh unto God, the Lord of all names? Where is he to be found
who, through the power of My name that transcendeth all created things, will
cast away the things that men possess, and cling, with all his might, to the
things which God, the Knower of the unseen and of the seen, hath bidden him
observe? Thus hath His bounty been sent down unto men, His testimony fulfilled,
and His proof shone forth above the Horizon of mercy. Rich is the prize that
shall be won by him who hath believed and exclaimed: “Lauded art Thou, O
Beloved of all worlds! Magnified be Thy name, O Thou the Desire of every
understanding heart!”
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
