O My servants! Be as resigned and submissive as the earth,
that from the soil of your being there may blossom the fragrant, the holy and
multicolored hyacinths of My knowledge. Be ablaze as the fire, that ye may burn
away the veils of heedlessness and set aglow, through the quickening energies
of the love of God, the chilled and wayward heart. Be light and untrammeled as
the breeze, that ye may obtain admittance into the precincts of My court, My
inviolable Sanctuary. - Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Baha’u’llah’)
