I ask God to make ye
lamps ignited by the great Light, so that ye may stand with all power,
meekness, humbleness, sacrifice and self-resignation and thus become examples
for the people and pure types for the world, be salt of the earth, stars of
guidance, great trees with broad foliage and excellent fruits of fragrant
scent, growing by the bounty of the cloud of the Kingdom of El-Abha.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1’)
