Blessed are those who have fixed their gaze on the realm of
glory and have followed the commandments of the Lord of Names. Blessed is he
who in the days of God will engage in handicrafts. This is a bounty from God,
for in this Most Great Dispensation it is acceptable in the sight of God for
man to occupy himself in a trade which relieveth him of depending upon charity.
The craft of every craftsman is regarded as worship. - Baha’u’llah (The
Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Arts and Crafts)
