Although the author of the following saying had intended it
otherwise, yet We find it pertinent to the operation of God's immutable Will:
"Even or odd, thou shalt win the wager." [1] The friends of God shall
win and profit under all conditions, and shall attain true wealth. In fire they
remain cold, and from water they emerge dry. Their affairs are at variance with
the affairs of men. Gain is their lot, whatever the deal. To this testifieth
every wise one with a discerning eye, and every fair-minded one with a hearing
ear.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by the Universal House of Justice in a message dated
10 February 1980, addressed to the Iranian believers resident in other
countries throughout the world, translated from Persian; ‘Messages from the
Universal House of Justice 1963-1986’)
[1] Sa’di (d. 1291 A.D.)
