These quotations reflect common presentations of Bahá’í views; the materials below may show a wider range of interpretations and contexts:

"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... It behoveth every one who reacheth this most sublime station, this summit of transcendent glory, to observe every ordinance of Him Who is the Desire of the world. These twin duties are inseparable. Neither is acceptable without the other..."

– Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Aqdas, ¶1
