I, verily, have not fallen short of My duty to admonish that
people, and to devise means whereby they may turn towards God, their Lord, and
believe in God, their Creator. If, on the day of His Revelation, all that are
on earth bear Him allegiance, Mine inmost being will rejoice, inasmuch as all
will have attained the summit of their existence, and will have been brought
face to face with their Beloved, and will have recognized, to the fullest
extent attainable in the world of being, the splendor of Him Who is the Desire
of their hearts. If not, My soul will indeed be saddened. I truly have nurtured
all things for this purpose. How, then, can anyone be veiled from Him? For this
have I called upon God, and will continue to call upon Him. He, verily, is
nigh, ready to answer.
- The Báb (Quoted by Baha’u’llah in ‘The Epistle to the
Son of the Wolf’)
