Thine eye is My trust, suffer not the dust of vain desires
to becloud its luster. Thine ear is a sign of My bounty, let not the tumult of
unseemly motives turn it away from My Word that encompasseth all creation.
Thine heart is My treasury, allow not the treacherous hand of self to rob thee
of the pearls which I have treasured therein. Thine hand is a symbol of My
loving-kindness, hinder it not from holding fast unto My guarded and hidden
Tablets.... Unasked, I have showered upon thee My grace. Unpetitioned, I have
fulfilled thy wish. In spite of thy undeserving, I have singled thee out for My
richest, My incalculable favors.... - Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings
of Baha’u’llah’)
