Bahá'u'lláhThe true seeker hunts naught but the object of his quest, and the lover has no desire save union with his Beloved.
Bahá'u'lláhKnow verily that the purpose underlying all these symbolic terms and abstruse allusions, which emanate from the revealers of Gods holy cause, hath been to test and prove the peoples of the world; that thereby the earth of the pure and illuminated hearts may be known from the perishable and barren soil.
Bahá'u'lláhLet your eye be chaste, your hand faithful, your tongue truthful and your heart enlightened.
Bahá'u'lláhThe Great Being saith: 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.
