Say: Human utterance is an essence which aspireth to exert
its influence and needeth moderation. As to its influence, this is conditional
upon refinement which in turn is dependent upon hearts which are detached and
pure. As to its moderation, this hath to be combined with tact and wisdom as
prescribed in the Holy Scriptures and Tablets. Meditate upon that which hath
streamed forth from the heaven of the Will of thy Lord, He Who is the Source of
all grace, that thou mayest grasp the intended meaning which is enshrined in
the sacred depths of the Holy Writings.
- Baha’u’llah
