Methinks people’s sense of taste hath, alas, been sorely
affected by the fever of negligence and folly, for they are found to be wholly
unconscious and deprived of the sweetness of His utterance. How regrettable
indeed that man should debar himself from the fruits of the tree of wisdom
while his days and hours pass swiftly away. Please God, the hand of divine
power may safeguard all mankind and direct their steps towards the horizon of
true understanding.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
