Fear thou God, thy Lord, and make mention of His Name in the
day-time and at eventide. Follow not the promptings of the faithless, lest thou
be reckoned among the exponents of idle fancies. Faithfully obey the Primal
Point Who is the Lord Himself, and be of the righteous. Let nothing cause thee
to be sore shaken, neither let the things which have been destined to take
place in this Cause disturb thee. Strive earnestly for the sake of God and walk
in the path of righteousness. Shouldst thou encounter the unbelievers, place
thy whole trust in God, thy Lord, saying, Sufficient is God unto me in the
kingdoms of both this world and the next. - The Báb (Selections from the
Writings of the Báb; Fire and Light: A Compilation prepared by the Research
Department of the Universal House of Justice; The Baha’i World 1979-1983)
