God loveth those who are pure. Naught in the Bayán and in the sight of God is more loved than purity and immaculate cleanliness....
God desireth not to see, in the Dispensation of the Bayán, any soul deprived of joy and radiance. He indeed desireth that under all conditions, all may be adorned with such purity, both inwardly and outwardly, that no repugnance may be caused even to themselves, how much less unto others.
- The Báb ('Selections from the Writings of the Báb')
