Retrace your steps, O My servants, and incline your hearts
to Him Who is the Source of your creation. Deliver yourselves from your evil
and corrupt affections, and hasten to embrace the light of the undying Fire
that gloweth on the Sinai of this mysterious and transcendent Revelation.
Corrupt not the holy, the all-embracing, and primal Word of God, and seek not
to profane its sanctity or to debase its exalted character. O heedless ones!
Though the wonders of My mercy have encompassed all created things, both
visible and invisible, and though the revelations of My grace and bounty have
permeated every atom of the universe, yet the rod with which I can chastise the
wicked is grievous, and the fierceness of Mine anger against them terrible.
With ears that are sanctified from vain-glory and worldly desires hearken unto
the counsels which I, in My merciful kindness, have revealed unto you, and with
your inner and outer eyes contemplate the evidences of My marvelous Revelation... - Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
