It beseemeth all men, in this Day, to take firm hold on the
Most Great Name, and to establish the unity of all mankind. There is no place
to flee to, no refuge that any one can seek, except Him. Should any man be led
to utter such words as will turn away the people from the shores of God’s
limitless ocean, and cause them to fix their hearts on anything except this
glorious and manifest Being, that hath assumed a form subject to human
limitations—such a man, however lofty the station he may occupy, shall be
denounced by the entire creation as one that hath deprived himself of the sweet
savors of the All-Merciful.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Baha’u’llah’)
