Say: Deliver your souls, O people, from the bondage of self,
and purify them from all attachment to anything besides Me. Remembrance of Me
cleanseth all things from defilement, could ye but perceive it. Say: Were all
created things to be entirely divested of the veil of worldly vanity and
desire, the Hand of God would in this Day clothe them, one and all, with the
robe “He doeth whatsoever He willeth in the kingdom of creation,” that thereby
the sign of His sovereignty might be manifested in all things. Exalted then be
He, the Sovereign Lord of all, the Almighty, the Supreme Protector, the
All-Glorious, the Most Powerful. - Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Baha’u’llah’)
