The sanctified souls should ponder and meditate in their hearts
regarding the methods of teaching. From the texts of the wondrous, heavenly
Scriptures they should memorize phrases and passages bearing on various
instances, so that in the course of their speech they may recite divine verses
whenever the occasion demandeth it, inasmuch as these holy verses are the most
potent elixir, the greatest and mightiest talisman. So potent is their
influence that the hearer will have no cause for vacillation. I swear by My
life! This Revelation is endowed with such a power that it will act as the
lodestone for all nations and kindreds of the earth. Should one pause to
meditate attentively he would recognize that no place is there, nor can there
be, for anyone to flee to.

the Kitáb-i-Aqdas’; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, The Importance of
Deepening our Knowledge of the Faith)
