The true seeker hunteth naught but the object of his quest, and the lover hath no desire save union with his beloved. Nor shall the seeker reach his goal unless he sacrifice all things. That is, whatever he hath seen, and heard, and understood, all must he set at naught, that he may enter the realm of the spirit, which is the City of God.
- Baha'u'llah, The Seven Valleys, p. 7
Thou seest me in this day shut up in my prison, and fallen into the hands of Thine adversaries, and beholdest my son (The Purest Branch) lying on the dust before Thy face.…Thereupon I offered him up, O my God, as a sacrifice in Thy path.
- Baha'u'llah, Prayers and Meditations by Baha'u'llah, p. 34
