To all that dwell on earth I cry aloud and say: “Fear ye
God, O ye servants of God, and suffer not yourselves to be kept back from this
pure Wine that hath flowed from the right hand of the throne of the mercy of
your Lord, the Most Merciful. I swear by God! Better for you is what He
possesseth than the things ye yourselves possess and the things ye have sought
and are now seeking in this vain and empty life. Forsake the world, and set
your faces towards the all-glorious Horizon. Whoso hath partaken of the wine of
His remembrance will forget every other remembrance, and whoso hath recognized
Him will rid himself of all attachment to this life and to all that pertaineth
unto it.” - Bha’u’llah (‘Prayers and meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
