Morning
Intone, O My servant, the verses of God that have been received by thee, as intoned by them who have drawn nigh unto Him, that the sweetness of thy melody may kindle thine own soul, and attract the hearts of all men.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh’; The
Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, The Importance of Deepening our Knowledge
of the Faith)
Evening
The divine call of the celestial Herald [the Báb] from beyond the Veil of Glory, summoning mankind to renounce utterly all the things to which they cleave, is repugnant to their desire; and this is the cause of the bitter trials and violent commotions which have occurred. Consider the way of the people. They ignore these well-founded traditions, all of which have been fulfilled, and cling unto those of doubtful validity, and ask why these have not been fulfilled. And yet, those things which to them were inconceivable have been made manifest.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
