Morning
At the time of the appearance of Him Whom God shall make
manifest, wert thou to perform thy deeds for the sake of the Point of the
Bayán, they would be regarded as performed for one other than God, inasmuch as
on that Day the Point of the Bayán is none other than Him Whom God shall make
manifest...
It is for this reason that at the beginning of every Dispensation a vast multitude, who fondly imagine that their deeds are for God, become drowned and ungodly, and perceive this not, except such as He guideth at His behest.
- The Báb (From the Persian Bayan, ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)
Evening
Peruse thou the Kitáb-i-Íqán (Book of Certitude) and that which the All-Merciful hath sent down unto the King of Paris (Napoleon III) and to such as are like him, that thou mayest be made aware of the things that have happened in the past, and be persuaded that We have not sought to spread disorder in the land after it had been well-ordered. We exhort, wholly for the sake of God, His servants. Let him who wisheth turn unto Him, and him who wisheth turn aside. Our Lord, the Merciful, is verily the All-Sufficing, the All-Praised.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle to Son of the Wolf’)
