Be thou [1] patient, though thy heart be consumed in its
separation from God, for He hath granted thee an exalted station in His
presence. Nay, thou art even now standing before His face, and We are imparting
unto thee, through the tongue of might and power, such words as even the ears
of the sincere ones have been deprived of hearing. Say: Were He to utter but
one word, that word alone would exceed in sweetness all the sayings of men.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)

(Sacrifice) and Anís (Companion) by Bahá’u’lláh
