One of the believers asked how we could cut our hearts from the world

'Abdu'l-Baha answered:

If your hearts are turned always toward God, and filled with the love of Cod, that love will separate them from all other things, that love will be the wall that will come between them and every other desire. You must all be joined one to another in heart and soul, then you will be prospered in your work and gain ever greater gifts, and the Cause of God will be spread through all the countries by your means. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, from an address, quoted by May Maxwell in ‘An Early Pilgrimage’)
