Whenever My laws appear like the sun in the heaven of Mine
utterance, they must be faithfully obeyed by all, though My decree be such as
to cause the heaven of every religion to be cleft asunder. He doth what He
pleaseth. He chooseth; and none may question His choice. Whatsoever He, the
Well-Beloved, ordaineth, the same is, verily, beloved. To this He Who is the
Lord of all creation beareth Me witness. Whoso hath inhaled the sweet fragrance
of the All-Merciful, and recognized the Source of this utterance, will welcome
with his own eyes the shafts of the enemy, that he may establish the truth of
the laws of God amongst men. Well is it with him that hath turned thereunto,
and apprehended the meaning of His decisive decree. - Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings
from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
