“O SON OF SPIRIT!

“I created thee rich, why dost thou bring thyself down to poverty? Noble I made thee, wherewith dost thou abase thyself? Out of the essence of knowledge I gave thee being, why seekest thou enlightenment from anyone beside Me? Out of the clay of love I molded thee, how dost thou busy thyself with another? Turn thy sight unto thyself, that thou mayest find Me standing within thee, mighty, powerful and self-subsisting. ”

Bahá’u’lláh

The Hidden Words – Arabic (p.13)

I, the All-Knowing, created thee rich in knowing, why dost thou bring thyself down to the poverty of knowing objects? Noble in Knowing I made thee, wherewith dost thou abase thyself in knowing anything other than Me? Out of Knowing, the essence of knowledge, I gave thee being, why seekest thou enlightenment from another being besides the being of Knowing? Out of the Formless Clay of love I molded thee, how dost thou busy thyself searching for My Love in the clay of form? Turn thy attention inward, and stand as Pure Knowing, that thou mayest find Me, The All-Knowing, standing within thee, mighty, powerful and self-subsisting. ”
