O Children of Vainglory! For a fleeting sovereignty ye have
abandoned My imperishable dominion, and have adorned yourselves with the gay
livery of the world and made of it your boast. By My beauty! All will I gather
beneath the one-colored covering of the dust and efface all these diverse
colors save them that choose My own, and that is purging from every color. - Baha’u’llah ('The Hidden Words’)
