Bahá’í Sacred Writings, Bahá’u’lláh, #113

Bahá’u’lláh
Translated by Shoghi Effendi

Detachment is as the sun; in whatsoever heart it doth shine it quencheth the fire of covetousness and self. He whose sight is illumined with the light of understanding will assuredly detach himself from the world and the vanities thereof…. Let not the world and its vileness grieve you. Happy is he whom riches fill not with vainglory, nor poverty with sorrow.
