…O ye lovers of the beauty of the All-Glorious! O ye that
ardently seek the court of the presence of the Almighty! This is the day of
nearness and reunion, not the time for contention and idle words. If ye be
sincere lovers, behold the beauty of the Best-Beloved shining clear and
resplendent as the true morn. It behoveth you to be free from all attachment,
whether to yourselves or to others; nay, ye should renounce existence and
non-existence, light and darkness, glory and abasement alike. Sever your hearts
from all transitory things, from all idle fancies and vain imaginings, that ye
may, pure and unsullied, enter the realm of the spirit and partake with radiant
hearts of the splendours of everlasting holiness.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of
Remembrance)
