“O My Name!
Utterance must needs possess penetrating power.
For if bereft of this quality it would fail to exert influence.
And this penetrating influence dependeth on the spirit
being pure and the
heart stainless.
Likewise it needeth moderation,
without which the hearer would be
unable to bear it,
rather he would manifest opposition
from the very outset.
And moderation will be obtained by
blending utterance with the tokens of divine wisdom
which are recorded in the sacred Books and Tablets.
Thus when the essence of one’s utterance is endowed with these two
requisites it will prove highly effective and will be the
prime factor in
transforming the souls of men.
This is the station of supreme victory and celestial dominion.
Whoso attaineth thereto is invested with the power to teach
the Cause of God and to prevail
over the hearts and minds of men.”
Tablets of Baha’u’llah
