Say: It behoveth every one that holdeth fast to the hem of
Our Robe to be untainted by anything from which the Concourse on high may be
averse. Thus hath it been decreed by thy Lord, the All-Glorious, in this His
perspicuous Tablet. Say: Set ye aside My love, and commit what grieveth Mine
heart? What is it that hindereth you from comprehending what hath been revealed
unto you by Him Who is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise?
We verily behold your actions. If We perceive from them the
sweet smelling savor of purity and holiness, We will most certainly bless you.
Then will the tongues of the inmates of Paradise utter your praise and magnify
your names amidst them who have drawn nigh unto God.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings
from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
