Ever since the Cause of thy Lord hath appeared none of thy
deeds hath been acceptable, and thou hast been lost in palpable error while all
thou couldst see appeared to thee as deeds performed for the sake of thy Lord.
In truth thy day is nigh at hand and thou shalt be questioned concerning all
this, and assuredly God is not heedless of the deeds of the wicked.
- The Báb (From an Epistle to Muhammad Shah; ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)
