Wish not for others what ye wish not
for yourselves; fear God, and be not of the prideful. Ye are all created out of
water, and unto dust shall ye return. Reflect upon the end that awaiteth you,
and walk not in the ways of the oppressor. Give ear unto the verses of God
which He Who is the sacred Lote-Tree reciteth unto you. They are assuredly the
infallible balance, established by God, the Lord of this world and the next.
Through them the soul of man is caused to wing its flight towards the Dayspring
of Revelation, and the heart of every true believer is suffused with light.
Such are the laws which God hath enjoined upon you, such His commandments
prescribed unto you in His Holy Tablet; obey them with joy and gladness, for
this is best for you, did ye but know.
(Baha'u'llah,
The Kitab-i-Aqdas)
