“He is not to be numbered with the people of Baha who followeth his mundane desires, or fixeth his heart on the things of the earth. He is My true follower who, if he come to a valley of pure gold, will pass straight through it aloof as a cloud, and will neither turn back, nor pause. Such a man is, assuredly, of Me… And if he met the fairest and most comely of women, he would not feel his heart seduced by the least shadow of desire for her beauty. Such a one, indeed is the creation of spotless chastity.”
~ Baha’u’llah, Gleanings, no. LX, pp. 117-8
“Live then the days of thy life, that are less than a fleeting moment, with thy mind stainless, thy heart unsullied, thy thoughts pure and thy nature sanctified, so that, free and content, thou mayest put away this mortal frame…”
~ Baha’u’llah, Hidden Words, Persian no.44
