“The world is but a show, vain and empty, a mere
nothing, bearing the semblance of reality. Set not
your affections upon it. Break not the bond that
uniteth you with your Creator, and be not of those
that have erred and strayed from His ways.
Verily I say, the world is like the vapor in a desert,
which the thirsty dreameth to be water and striveth
after it with all his might, until when he cometh
unto it, he findeth it to be mere illusion.”
Bahá’u’lláh
