I counsel you, in the end, not to overstep the bounds of
God, nor to heed the ways and habits of men, for these can neither “fatten nor
appease your hunger”. Fix, rather, your
gaze upon the precepts of God. Whosoever
desireth, let him accept this counsel as a path leading unto his Lord, and
whosoever desireth, let him return to his own idle imaginings. My Lord, verily,
is independent above all who are in the heavens and on the earth, and above all
that they say and do. - Baha'u'llah (Suriy-i-Muluk [Tablet to the Kings], The
Summons of the Lord of Hosts)
