When a true seeker determineth to take the step of search in the path leading unto the knowledge of the Ancient of Days he… should be content with little, and be freed from all inordinate desire. He should treasure the companionship of them that have renounced the world, and regard avoidance of boastful and worldly people a precious benefit.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
