We found you, as We found most men, worshipping names which
they mention during the days of their life, and with which they occupy
themselves. No sooner do the Bearers of
these names appear, however, than they repudiate them, and turn upon their
heels. Thus have We found you, and thus
have We reckoned up your actions and borne witness to all your doings in this
day. Know ye that God will not, in this
day, accept your thoughts, nor your remembrance of Him, nor your turning
towards Him, nor your devotions, nor your vigilance, unless ye be made new in
the estimation of this Servant, could ye but perceive it. - Baha'u'llah (Suriy-i-Muluk [Tablet to the Kings], The Summons of the Lord of Hosts)
