O Ye People that have Minds to Know and Ears to Hear! The
first call of the Beloved is this: O mystic nightingale! Abide not but in the
rose-garden of the spirit. O messenger of the Solomon of love! Seek thou no
shelter except in the Sheba of the well-beloved, and O immortal phoenix! dwell
not save on the mount of faithfulness. Therein is thy habitation, if on the
wings of thy soul thou soarest to the realm of the infinite and seekest to
attain thy goal.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Hidden Words of Baha’u’llah’)
