The Love of God
The generations that have gone on before you – whither are they fled? And those round
whom in life circled the fairest and the loveliest of the land, where now are they? Profit by
their example, O people, and be not of them that are gone astray.
Others ere long will lay hands on what ye possess, and enter into your habitations. Incline
your ears to My words, and be not numbered among the foolish.
For every one of you his paramount duty is to choose for himself that on which no other may
infringe and none usurp from him. Such a thing -- and to this the Almighty is My witness – is
the love of God, could ye but perceive it.
Build ye for yourselves such houses as the rain and floods can never destroy, which shall
protect you from the changes and chances of this life. This is the instruction of Him Whom
the world hath wronged and forsaken.
Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 261
