O my God! O my God! Debar not the eyes from that for which
Thou hast created them, nor the faces from turning to Thy horizon, or from
paying homage at the portals of Thy majesty, or from appearing in the presence
of Thy throne, or from bowing down before the splendours of the Day-Star of Thy
bounty.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Ishraqat [Splendours], ‘Tablets
of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
