It behoveth thee to look with divine insight upon the things
We have revealed and sent unto thee and not towards the people and that which
is current amongst them. They are in this day like unto a blind man who, while
moving in the sunshine, demandeth: Where is the sun? Is it shining? He would
deny and dispute the truth, and would not be of them that perceive. Never shall
he be able to discern the sun or to understand that which hath intervened
between him and it. He would object within himself, voice protests, and would
be among the rebellious. Such is the state of this people. Leave them unto
themselves, saying: Unto you be that which ye desire and unto us that which we
desire. Wretched indeed is the plight of the ungodly.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of
Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
