It is incumbent upon thee to summon the people, under all
conditions, to whatever will cause them to show forth spiritual characteristics
and goodly deeds, so that all may become aware of that which is the cause of
human upliftment, and may, with the utmost endeavor, direct themselves towards
the most sublime Station and the Pinnacle of Glory. The fear of God hath ever
been the prime factor in the education of His creatures. Well is it with them
that have attained thereunto!
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Epistle to the Son of Wolf’)
