Glory and abasement, riches and poverty, tranquillity and
tribulation, all will pass away, and all the peoples of the earth will erelong
be laid to rest in their tombs. It behoveth therefore every man of insight to
fix his gaze upon the goal of eternity, that perchance by the grace of Him Who
is the Ancient King he may attain unto the immortal Kingdom and abide beneath
the shade of the Tree of His Revelation.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Summons of the Lord
of Hosts’)
