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

"I created thee rich, why dost thou bring thyself down to poverty? 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."
"Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created."

– Bahá'u'lláh, The Hidden Words, Arabic, no. 13 and 22
