Morning
He [God] hath chosen out of the whole world the hearts of His servants and made them each a seat for the revelation of His glory. Wherefore, sanctify them from every defilement, that the things for which they were created may be engraven upon them. This indeed is a token of God’s bountiful favor.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in a letter dated 25
December 1938; ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
Evening
From time immemorial He [God] hath been established upon the seat of His sovereignty and through eternity will He continue to occupy the inaccessible heights of His glory. Every created thing is impotent before the evidences of His invincible might, and all beings fade into utter nothingness when confronted with the revelation of His awesome majesty.
- Baha’u’llah (From
a Tablet; compilation: ‘Fire and Light’, prepared by the Research Department of
the Universal House of Justice; The Baha’i World 1979-1983)
