65: "Weigh not the Book of God with such standards and sciences as are
current..."
Weigh not the Book of God with such standards and sciences as are current
amongst you, for the Book itself is the unerring Balance established
amongst men. In this most perfect Balance whatsoever the peoples and
kindreds of the earth possess must be weighed, while the measure of its
weight should be tested according to its own standard, did ye but know it.
(The Kitab-i-Aqdas, paragraph 99) [65]
66: "When the eyes of the people of the East were captivated by the
arts..."
When the eyes of the people of the East were captivated by the arts and
wonders of the West, they roved distraught in the wilderness of material
causes, oblivious of the One Who is the Causer of Causes, and the
Sustainer thereof, while such men as were the source and the wellspring of
Wisdom never denied the moving Impulse behind these causes, nor the
Creator or the Origin thereof. Thy Lord knoweth, yet most of the people
know not.
("Tablets of Baha'u'llah Revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas", p. 144) [66]
