Say: The beginning of Wisdom and the origin thereof is to
acknowledge whatsoever God hath clearly set forth, for through its potency the
foundation of statesmanship, which is a shield for the preservation of the body
of mankind, hath been firmly established. Ponder a while that ye may perceive
what My most exalted Pen hath proclaimed in this wondrous Tablet. Say, every
matter related to state affairs which ye raise for discussion falls under the
shadow of one of the words sent down from the heaven of His glorious and
exalted utterance. Thus have We recounted unto thee that which will exhilarate
thy heart, will bring solace to thine eyes and will enable thee to arise for
the promotion of His Cause amidst all peoples.- Baha'u'llah (‘Tablets of
Baha'u'llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas)
