Morning
Say: Is there any doubt concerning God? Behold how He hath
come down from the heaven of His grace, girded with power and invested with
sovereignty. Is there any doubt concerning His signs? Open ye your eyes, and
consider His clear evidence. Paradise is on your right hand, and hath been
brought nigh unto you, while Hell hath been made to blaze. Witness its
devouring flame. Haste ye to enter into Paradise, as a token of Our mercy unto
you, and drink ye from the hands of the All-Merciful the Wine that is life indeed.
Drink with healthy relish, O people of Bahá. Ye are indeed they with whom it shall be well. This is what they who have near access to God have attained. This is the flowing water ye were promised in the Qur’án, and later in the Bayán, as a recompense from your Lord, the God of Mercy. Blessed are they that quaff it.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
