God testifieth and beareth Us witness that We have, at all
times, been busied with the propagation of this Cause. Neither chains nor
bonds, stocks nor imprisonment, have succeeded in withholding Us from revealing
Our Self. In that land We forbad all mischief, and all unseemly and unholy
deeds. Day and night We sent forth Our Tablets in every direction. We had no
other purpose except to edify the souls of men, and to exalt the blessed Word.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)
