Morning
The people, during the absence of the Báb, re-enacted the
episode of the Calf by setting up a blaring figure which embodied animal
features in human form [Qur’án 7:146; 20:90] ...
Whenever the people ask Thee of the appointed Hour say: Verily the knowledge of it is only with My Lord, [Qur’án 7:186] Who is the Knower of the unseen. There is none other God but Him—He Who hath created you from a single soul, [Qur’án 4:1] and I have no control over what profiteth Me or harmeth Me, but as My Lord pleaseth. [Qur’án 10:50] Indeed God is Self-Sufficient and He, My Lord, standeth supreme over all things.
- The Báb (From the Qayyumu’l-Asma, ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)
Evening
Beware lest ye be hindered by the veils of glory from partaking of the crystal waters of this living Fountain. Seize ye the chalice of salvation at this dawntide in the name of Him Who causeth the day to break, and drink your fill in praise of Him Who is the All-Glorious, the Incomparable.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
