Say: He Who is the Unconditioned is come, in the clouds of
light, that He may quicken all created things with the breezes of His Name, the
Most Merciful, and unify the world, and gather all men around this Table which
hath been sent down from heaven. Beware that ye deny not the favor of God after
it hath been sent down unto you. Better is this for you than that which ye
possess; for that which is yours perisheth, whilst that which is with God
endureth. He, in truth, ordaineth what He pleaseth.
(Baha’u’llah, from a Tablet
to Napoleon III, ‘Epistle to the Son of
the Wolf’)
