O ye divines of the City! We came to you with the truth, whilst ye were heedless of it. Methinks ye are as dead, wrapt in the
coverings of your own selves. Ye sought
not Our presence, when so to do would have been better for you than all your
doings. Know ye that the Sun of
vicegerency hath dawned in all truth, and yet ye have turned away therefrom. The Moon of guidance hath risen high in the
midmost heaven, and yet ye remain veiled therefrom. The Star of divine bounty hath shone forth
above the horizon of eternal holiness, and yet ye have strayed far therefrom. - Baha'u'llah (Suriy-i-Muluk [Tablet to the Kings], The Summons of the Lord of
Hosts)
