"reward and punishment"

Justice He [Baha'u'llah] extols as "the light of men" and their "guardian," as "the revealer of the secrets of the world of being, and the standard-bearerof love and bounty"; declares its radiance to be incomparable; affirms that upon it must depend "the organization of the world and the tranquillity ofmankind." He characterizes its "two pillars" -- "reward and punishment" -- as "the sources of life" to the human race; warns the peoples of the world tobestir themselves in anticipation of its advent; and prophesies that, after an interval of great turmoil and grievous injustice, its day-star will shine inits full splendor and glory.


-- Shoghi Effendi
