Morning
How high is the testimony of the Sadratu’l-Muntahá for its leaf [the Greatest Holy Leaf]; how exalted the witness of the Tree of Life unto its fruit! Through My remembrance of her a fragrance laden with the perfume of musk hath been diffused; well is it with him that hath inhaled it and exclaimed: ‘All praise be to Thee, O God, my Lord the most glorious!’ How sweet thy presence before Me; how sweet to gaze upon thy face, to bestow upon thee My loving-kindness, to favour thee with My tender care, to make mention of thee in this, My Tablet—a Tablet which I have ordained as a token of My hidden and manifest grace unto thee.
- Baha’u’llah (From a Tablet; compilation: ‘Bahiyyih Khanum, The
Greatest Holy Leaf’, prepared by the Research Department of the Universal House
of Justice)
Evening
Wish not for others what ye wish not for yourselves; fear God, and be not of the prideful. Ye are all created out of water, and unto dust shall ye return. Reflect upon the end that awaiteth you, and walk not in the ways of the oppressor.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
