O Offspring of Dust! Be not content with the ease of a
passing day, and deprive not thyself of everlasting rest. Barter not the garden
of eternal delight for the dust-heap of a mortal world. Up from thy prison
ascend unto the glorious meads above, and from thy mortal cage wing thy flight
unto the paradise of the Placeless.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Hidden Words’)
