Morning
The tie of servitude established between the worshipper and the adored One, between the creature and the Creator, should in itself be regarded as a token of His gracious favour unto men, and not as an indication of any merit they may possess. To this testifieth every true and discerning believer.

collection of selections from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh and the Writings and
utterances of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, representing the range of the Bahá’í teachings”,

Evening
It hath ever been evident that all these divergences of utterance [among the Manifestations of God] are attributable to differences of station. [with respect to “the world of creation”] Thus, viewed from the standpoint of their oneness and sublime detachment, the attributes of Godhead, Divinity, Supreme Singleness, and Inmost Essence, have been and are applicable to those Essences of being, inasmuch as they all abide on the throne of divine Revelation, and are established upon the seat of divine Concealment. Through their appearance the Revelation of God is made manifest, and by their countenance the Beauty of God is revealed. Thus it is that the accents of God Himself have been heard uttered by these Manifestations of the divine Being.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
