ای مغروران باموال فانیه
بدانید که غنا سدّیست محکم میان طالب و مطلوب و عاشق و معشوق هرگز غنی بر مقرّ قرب وارد نشود و بمدینهٴ رضا و تسلیم درنیاید مگر قلیلی پس نیکوست حال آن غنی که غنا از ملکوت جاودانی منعش ننماید و از دولت ابدی محرومش نگرداند قسم باسم اعظم که نور آن غنی اهل آسمان را روشنی بخشد چنانچه شمس اهل زمین را

“O YE THAT PRIDE YOURSELVES ON MORTAL RICHES!
Know ye in truth that wealth is a mighty barrier between the seeker and his desire, the lover and his beloved. The rich, but for a few, shall in no wise attain the court of His presence nor enter the city of content and resignation.

The splendor of such a wealthy man shall illuminate the dwellers of heaven even as the sun enlightens the people of the earth!”
- Baha’u’llah -
