Ó Filho do Ser! Tu és a Minha lâmpada, e a Minha Luz está em ti. Que obtenhas dela o teu resplendor e não aspires a outro senão a Mim; pois Eu te criei rico e generosamente derramei sobre ti as Minhas graças.

Baha’u’llah

O SON OF BEING! Thou art My lamp and My light is in thee. Get thou from it thy radiance and seek none other than Me. For I have created thee rich and have bountifully shed My favor upon thee.
