O servants! Lifeless is the body that is bereft of a soul, and withered
the heart that is devoid of the remembrance of its Lord. Commune with
the remembrance of the Friend and shun the enemy. Your enemy is such
things as ye have acquired of your own inclination, to which ye have
firmly clung, and whereby ye have sullied your souls. The soul hath
been created for the remembrance of the Friend; safeguard its purity.
The tongue hath been created to bear witness to God; pollute it not with
the mention of the wayward.
O servants! This nether world is the abode of demons: Guard yourselves from approaching them. By demons is meant those wayward souls who, with the burden of their evil deeds, slumber in the chambers of oblivion. Their sleep is preferable to their wakefulness, and their death is better than their life.
Bahá'u'lláh
