selected quotations
(authoritative sources)

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

"... Were he that treadeth the path of guidance and seeketh to scale the heights of righteousness to attain unto this glorious and supreme station, he would inhale at a distance of a thousand leagues the fragrance of God, and would perceive the resplendent morn of a divine Guidance rising above the dayspring of all things... If in the uttermost corners of the East the sweet savors of God be wafted, he will assuredly recognize and inhale their fragrance, even though he be dwelling in the uttermost ends of the West... When the channel of the human soul is cleansed of all worldly and impeding attachments, it will unfailingly perceive the breath of the Beloved across immeasurable distances, and will, led by its perfume, attain and enter the City of Certitude..."

– Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Íqán (Book of Certitude), ¶217 (BH00002)

"... They whose eyes are illumined with the light of understanding will perceive the sweet savors of the All-Merciful, and will embrace His truth..."

– Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, LXVII (BH01822)

"Say: From My laws the sweet-smelling savor of My garment can be smelled... Happy is the lover that hath inhaled the divine fragrance of his Best-Beloved from these words, laden with the perfume of a grace which no tongue can describe..."

– Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Aqdas, ¶4 (BH00001)
