I do supplicate God to
confirm that spiritual assembly, that gathering of commemoration, to that
whereby the merciful faces brighten, and I beseech Him to assist them and thee
to that whereby man ascends the highest and noblest station of excellence and
the loftiest apex of honor, to make them humble and courteous before the
beloved of God, to become severed from aught else save God, to beseech the
Kingdom of Abha, to be freed from every mention save the commemoration of God,
and to be sanctified from all the grades of passion and desire, with pure, holy
hearts which are devoid of every feeling except entire attention unto God, the
Lord of the present and the world to come.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol.1)
