O My Friend! Thou art the day-star of the heavens of My holiness, let not the defilement of the world eclipse thy splendour. Rend asunder the veil of heedlessness, that from behind the clouds thou mayest emerge resplendent and array all things with the apparel of life.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Hidden Words'; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, A Chase and Holy Life)
