Every fire is seen to be extinguishable except for
the fire of the Love of God that is manifest and ablaze in the hearts. Every
mighty tree will be uprooted by tempestuous winds except for the trees of the
Divine orchard, and every lamp is quenched except for the lamp of the Cause of
God, which shineth in the heart of the world. Winds will add to its brightness,
and it will never be extinguished.
(The Universal House of Justice, from a
message dated 26 November 2003, addressed to the Followers of Bahá'u'lláh in
the Cradle of the Faith)
