Bahá’í Quotes

Noble

Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created.

- Bahá’u’lláh, The Arabic Hidden Words #22

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 Arabic Hidden Words #13
