The First Duty Prescribed by God

The first duty prescribed by God for His servants is the recognition of Him Who is
the Day Spring of His Revelation and the Fountain of His laws, Who representeth the
Godhead in both the Kingdom of His Cause and the world of creation. Whoso achieveth
this duty hath attained unto all good; and whoso is deprived thereof, hath gone
astray, though he be the author of every righteous deed. It behoveth every one who
reacheth this sublime station, this summit of transcendent glory, to observe every
ordinance of Him Who is the Desire of the world. These twin duties are inseperable.
Neither is acceptable without the other.Thus hath it been decreed by Him Who is the
Source of Divine inspiration.
Baha'u'llah page 126 Baha'i World Faith
