Deliver your souls, O people, from the bondage of self, and
purify them from all attachment to anything besides Me. Remembrance of Me
cleanseth all things from defilement, could ye but perceive it. (Baha’u’llah,
‘Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh’; The Compilation of Compilations,
vol. II, The Importance of Prayer, Meditation, and the Devotional Attitude)
