Kitab-i-Badi/English593

If the whole of me on earth and all that is created in it from the graces of beauty and the fruits of goodness are present in one assembly for the sake of God for the sake of the soul of the believer, it would not be an extravagance. But you and those like you, if you waste a morsel of bread, you are and will be wasteful, which wastefulness is evident in neglecting the right. And the same morsel of bread, whose soul has been subjected to torture, takes refuge in God because it has become his share. And by God, all of us eat linuh and yizj and say: "O God, by what crime did you falsify the sustenance of this early morning, the one who disbelieves in you and your revelations?" But you are not a poet and you will not be.
