Say: The breeze of God hath wafted over you [“kings of the
earth”] from the retreats of Paradise, but ye have neglected it and chosen to
persist in your waywardness. Guidance hath been given unto you from God, but ye
have failed to follow it and preferred to reject its truth. The Lamp of God
hath been lit within the niche of His Cause, but ye have neglected to seek the
radiance of its glory and to draw nigh unto its light. And still ye slumber
upon the couch of heedlessness!
- Baha’u’llah (Súriy-i-Mulúk; ‘The Summons of
the Lord of Hosts’)
