Intone, O My servant, the verses of God that have been
received by thee, as intoned by them who have drawn nigh unto Him, that the
sweetness of thy melody may kindle thine own soul, and attract the hearts of
all men. Whoso reciteth, in the privacy of his chamber, the verses revealed by
God, the scattering angels of the Almighty shall scatter abroad the fragrance
of the words uttered by his mouth, and shall cause the heart of every righteous
man to throb. Though he may, at first, remain unaware of its effect, yet the
virtue of the grace vouchsafed unto him must needs sooner or later exercise its
influence upon his soul. Thus have the mysteries of the Revelation of God been
decreed by virtue of the Will of Him Who is the Source of power and wisdom.(Baha’u’llah,
‘Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh’)
