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 not hesitate to offer up his life for his Beloved, nor allow the censure of the people to turn him away from the Truth. He should not wish for others that which he doth not wish for himself, nor promise that which he doth not fulfil. With all his heart he should avoid fellowship with evil-doers, and pray for the remission of their sins.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
