These quotations reflect common presentations of Bahá’í views; the materials below may show a wider range of interpretations and contexts:

"O Ye People that Have Minds to Know and Ears to Hear!
The first call of the Beloved is this: O mystic nightingale! Abide not but in the rose garden of the spirit. O messenger of the Solomon of love! Seek thou no shelter except in the Sheba of the well-beloved, and O immortal phoenix! dwell not save on the mount of faithfulness. Therein is thy habitation, if on the wings of thy soul thou soarest to the realm of the infinite and seekest to attain thy goal."

– Bahá'u'lláh, The Hidden Words, Persian no. 1 (BH00113)
