The tie of servitude established between the worshiper and
the adored One, between the creature and the Creator, should in itself be
regarded as a token of His gracious favor unto men, and not as an indication of
any merit they may possess. To this testifieth every true and discerning
believer.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
