ezs note: I've given this some thought - no, a great deal of thought - but I've given a great deal of respect and admiration to Baha'u'llah (1817-1892). I'll be ending this with a quote of Baha'u'llah, as well as His son, Abdu'l Baha, as well as Shoghi Effendi. If you wish to peruse the Writings more thoroughly, you can see http://bahai-library.com/. (Baha'i Library Online)
His face their lesson and their only book.
Learning of wonderment,
of longing love their duty,
of longing love their duty,
Not on learned chapters and
dull themes they look.
dull themes they look.
The chain that binds them
is His musky hair,
is His musky hair,
The Cyclic Scheme, to them,
is but to Him a stair.
is but to Him a stair.
(Baha’u’llah)
