Morning
We have not entered any school, nor read any of your dissertations. Incline your ears to the words of this unlettered One, wherewith He summoneth you unto God, the Ever-Abiding. Better is this for you than all the treasures of the earth, could ye but comprehend it.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle
to the Son of the Wolf’)
Evening
QUESTION: Concerning the sacred verse: “Recite ye the verses
of God every morn and eventide.”
ANSWER: The intention is all that hath been sent down from the Heaven of Divine Utterance. The prime requisite is the eagerness and love of sanctified souls to read the Word of God. To read one verse, or even one word, in a spirit of joy and radiance, is preferable to the perusal of many Books.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Questions and Answers’; ‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
