At one time this sublime Word was heard from the Tongue of
Him Who is the Possessor of all being and the Lord of the throne on high and of
earth below—exalted is the glory of His utterance—: Piety and detachment are
even as two most great luminaries of the heaven of teaching. Blessed the one
who hath attained unto this supreme station, this habitation of transcendent
holiness and sublimity.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after
the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
