Whoso knoweth this secret will assuredly hide it, and were
he to reveal but its faintest trace they would nail him to the cross. Yet, by
the Living God, were there any true seeker, I would divulge it to him; for they
have said: “Love is a light that never dwelleth in a heart possessed by fear.”
Verily, the wayfarer who journeyeth unto God, unto the
Crimson Pillar in the snow-white path, will never reach unto his heavenly goal
unless he abandoneth all that men possess: “And if he feareth not God, God will
make him to fear all things; whereas all things fear him who feareth God.” [an
Arabic proverb]
- Baha’u’llah (The Four Valleys)
