"O My servants! My holy,
My divinely ordained Revelation may be likened unto an ocean in
whose depths are concealed innumerable pearls of great price, of
surpassing luster. It is the duty of every seeker to bestir
himself and strive to attain the shores of this ocean " --Gleanings
from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh, p.326
