We beseech God to purge the hearts of certain divines from
rancour and enmity, that they may look upon matters with an eye unbeclouded by
contempt. May He raise them up unto so
lofty a station that neither the attractions of the world, nor the allurements
of authority, may deflect them from gazing upon the Supreme Horizon, and that
neither worldly benefits nor carnal desires shall prevent them from attaining
that Day whereon the mountains shall be reduced to dust.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Nasiri’d-Din Shah, Suriy-i-Haykal
[Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
