Yea, the seeker reacheth a station wherein that which hath
been ordained for him knoweth no bounds. The fire of love so blazeth in his
heart that it seizeth the reins of constraint from his grasp. At every moment
his love for his Lord increaseth and draweth him nearer unto his Creator, in
such wise that if his Lord be in the east of nearness, and he dwell in the west
of remoteness and possess all that earth and heaven contain of rubies and gold,
he would forsake it all and rush forth to the land of the Desired One.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gems
of Divine Mysteries’)
