Consecrate Thou, O my God, the whole of this Tree unto Him,
[Baha’u’llah] that from it may be revealed all the fruits created by God within
it for Him through Whom God hath willed to reveal all that He pleaseth. By Thy
glory! I have not wished that this Tree should ever bear any branch, leaf, or
fruit that would fail to bow down before Him, on the day of His Revelation, or
refuse to laud Thee through Him, as beseemeth the glory of His all-glorious
Revelation, and the sublimity of His most sublime Concealment. And shouldst
Thou behold, O my God, any branch, leaf, or fruit upon Me that hath failed to
bow down before Him, on the day of His Revelation, cut it off, O My God, from
that Tree, for it is not of Me, nor shall it return unto Me.
- The Báb (Quoted
by Baha’u’llah in ‘The Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)
