Adorn your heads with the garlands of trustworthiness and
fidelity, your hearts with the attire of the Fear of God, your tongues with
absolute truthfulness, your bodies with the vesture of courtesy. These are in
truth seemly adornings unto the temple of the cord of servitude unto God, the
True One, for thereby your stations shall be made manifest, your names written
and preserved, your ranks raised and your memory exalted in the Preserved
Tablet. Beware lest the dwellers on earth hinder you from this glorious and
exalted station. Thus have We exhorted you in most of our Epistles and now in
this, Our Holy Tablet, above which hath beamed the Day-star of the Laws of the
Lord, your God, the Powerful, the All-Wise.
- Baha'u'llah, ('The Kitab-i-Aqdas')
