“If the eyelid, however delicate, can deprive
man’s outer eye from beholding the world
and all that is therein, consider then what
would be wrought if the veil of covetousness
were to descend upon his inner eye.
Say: O people! The darkness of greed and
envy becloudeth the radiance of the soul
even as the clouds obstruct the light of the
sun.”

Bahá’u’lláh
