Do not busy yourselves in your own concerns; let your
thoughts be fixed upon that which will rehabilitate the fortunes of mankind and
sanctify the hearts and souls of men.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Gleanings from the
Writings of Baha’u’llah'; Ruhi Book 5)
Verily I say! No one hath apprehended the root of this
Cause. It is incumbent upon everyone, in this day, to perceive with the eye of
God, and to hearken with His ear. Whoso beholdeth Me with an eye besides Mine
own will never be able to know Me.
(Baha’u’llah, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of
Divine Justice’)
