Detachment from all save God

If one is praised and chosen by God, the accusation of all the creatures will cause no loss to him; and if the man is not accepted in the threshold of God, the praise and admiration of all men will be of no use to him.

~ Abdu'l-Baha, Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha v1, p. 158


He walketh the heights of detachment and traverseth the vale of renunciation. His eyes are ever expectant to witness the wonders of God's mercy and eager to behold the splendours of His beauty.

~ Baha'u'llah, Gems of Divine Mysteries, p. 29


And when this stage of the journey is completed and the wayfarer hath soared beyond this lofty station, he entereth the City of Divine Unity, and the garden of oneness, and the court of detachment.

~ Baha'u'llah, Gems of Divine Mysteries, p. 29
