Be not content with the ease of a passing day, and deprive not thyself of everlasting rest. — Bahá’u’lláh

Bahá’u’lláh: The Hidden Words, Part Two (Persian), No. 39

O Offspring of Dust! Be not content with the ease of a passing day, and deprive not thyself of everlasting rest. Barter not the garden of eternal delight for the dust-heap of a mortal world. Up from thy prison ascend unto the glorious meads above, and from thy mortal cage wing thy flight unto the paradise of the Placeless.

— Bahá’u’lláh
