Verily I beseech God to make thee a sign of supplication,
humbleness and submissiveness unto God, so that thou mayest commune with thy
Lord, in the gloomy hours of night and in the morn and eve while being
enkindled with the fire of the love of God, attracted to His fragrances of
holiness, strengthened by His Spirit, speaking His praise and bowing down
before His Threshold of Sanctity. Verily, He is the Assister, the Beneficent!
(‘Abdu’l-Baha,
‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol.1)
