notes

"Busy not thyself with this world, for with fire We test the gold, and with gold We test Our servants."
"Thou dost wish for gold and I desire thy freedom from it. Thou thinkest thyself rich in its possession, and I recognize thy wealth in thy sanctity therefrom. By My life! This is My knowledge, and that is thy fancy; how can My way accord with thine?"
– Bahá'u'lláh, Hidden Words, Arabic, #55 and 56 (BH00386)
