We must all with the utmost joy and
cheerfulness sacrifice our lives for the Truth! Consider how I have left aside
a thousand works and with the greatest attraction am writing to thee with my
own hand; so that in every moment thou mayst raise a wave and in devotion in
the Love of God and the spending of thy life in the Cause, thou mayst make every
possible effort.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, from a Tablet to an individual believer; Star
of the West, vol. 1, no. 17, January 19, 1911)
