O ye peoples of the world! Know assuredly that My commandments are the lamps of My loving providence among My servants, and the keys of My mercy for My creatures.

Were any man to taste the sweetness of the words which the lips of the All-Merciful have willed to utter, he would, though the treasures of the earth be in his possession, renounce them one and all, that he might vindicate the truth of even one of His commandments, shining above the Dayspring of His bountiful care and loving-kindness..." – Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Aqdas, ¶3 "...

Wherefore, sanctify them from every defilement, that the things for which they were created may be engraven upon them. This indeed is a token of God’s bountiful favor..." – Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, CXXXVI (BH00994) "... The Word of God is the king of words and its pervasive influence is incalculable. It hath ever dominated and will continue to dominate the realm of being. The Great Being saith: The Word is the master key for the whole world, inasmuch as through its potency the doors of the hearts of men, which in reality are the doors of heaven, are unlocked..." – Tablets of Bahá'u'lláh, Lawḥ-i-Maqṣúd (Tablet of Maqṣúd), ¶32 (BH00140)
