O people of the Bayán! Fear ye the Most Merciful and
consider what He hath revealed in another passage. He said: “The Qiblih is
indeed He Whom God will make manifest; whenever He moveth, it moveth, until He
shall come to rest.” Thus was it set down by the Supreme Ordainer when He
desired to make mention of this Most Great Beauty. Meditate on this, O people,
and be not of them that wander distraught in the wilderness of error. If ye
reject Him at the bidding of your idle fancies, where then is the Qiblih to
which ye will turn, O assemblage of the heedless? Ponder ye this verse, and
judge equitably before God, that haply ye may glean the pearls of mysteries
from the ocean that surgeth in My Name, the All-Glorious, the Most High.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
