"If thou seekest another than Me, yea, if thou searchest the universe for evermore, thy quest will be in vain."




"O SON OF UTTERANCE! Turn thy face unto Mine and renounce all save Me; for My sovereignty endureth and My dominion perisheth not. If thou seekest another than Me, yea, if thou searchest the universe for evermore, thy quest will be in vain."

-Bahá'u'lláh, The Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh, Arabic No. 15

“O concourse of Shí’ihs! Fear ye God, and Our Cause, which concerneth Him Who is the Most Great Remembrance of God. For great is its fire, as decreed in the Mother-Book.”

“O people of the Qur’án! Ye are as nothing unless ye submit unto the Remembrance of God and unto this Book. If ye follow the Cause of God, We will forgive you your sins, and if ye turn aside from Our command, We will, in truth, condemn your souls in Our Book, unto the Most Great Fire. We, verily, do not deal unjustly with men, even to the extent of a speck on a date stone.”

-The Báb from the Qayyúm-i-Asmá quoted by Shoghi Effendi in The Promised Day Is Come, pp. 85-86
