It behoveth thee [1] to turn thy gaze in all circumstances
unto the One true God, and seek diligently to serve His Cause. Call thou to
mind when thou wert in My company, within the Tabernacle of Glory, and didst
hear from Me that which He Who conversed with God [Moses] heard upon the Sinai
of divine knowledge. Thus did We graciously aid thee, enabled thee to recognize
the truth and cautioned thee, that thou mightest render thanks unto thy
bountiful Lord. Thou shouldst safeguard this sublime station through the
potency of My Name, the Omnipotent, the Faithful.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of
Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
[1] Muhammad Javád-i-Qazvíní, upon whom Bahá’u’lláh bestowed
the title Ismu’lláhi’l-Júd (The Name of God, Bounty). He transcribed numerous
Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh during His Ministry, but subsequently broke the
Covenant. (See God Passes By pages 247 and 319.)
