Abandon not for that which perisheth an everlasting dominion — Bahá’u’lláh

Bahá’u’lláh: The Hidden Words, Part Two (Persian), No. 37

O My Servant! Abandon not for that which perisheth an everlasting dominion, and cast not away celestial sovereignty for a worldly desire. This is the river of everlasting life that hath flowed from the wellspring of the pen of the merciful; well is it with them that drink!
