" ... Pride ye yourselves on My Name and yet shut yourselves out as by a veil from Me? This indeed is a strange thing!"

"O CONCOURSE of patriarchs! He Whom ye were promised in the Tablets is come. Fear God, and follow not the vain imaginings of the superstitious. Lay aside the things ye possess, and take fast hold of the Tablet of God by His sovereign power. Better is this for you than all your possessions. Unto this testifieth every understanding heart, and every man of insight. Pride ye yourselves on My Name and yet shut yourselves out as by a veil from Me? This indeed is a strange thing!"

-Bahá'u'lláh, Proclamation of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 92
