In all these journeys [of the Seven Valleys] the traveler
must stray not the breadth of a hair from the “Law,” for this is indeed the
secret of the “Path” and the fruit of the Tree of “Truth”; and in all these
stages he must cling to the robe of obedience to the commandments, and hold
fast to the cord of shunning all forbidden things, that he may be nourished
from the cup of the Law and informed of the mysteries of Truth.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The
Seven Valleys’)
