O thou dear handmaid of God! If only thou couldst know what
a high station is destined for those souls who are severed from the world, are
powerfully attracted to the Faith, and are teaching, under the sheltering
shadow of Bahá’u’lláh! How thou wouldst rejoice, how thou wouldst, in
exultation and rapture, spread thy wings and soar heavenward—for being a
follower of such a way, and a traveller toward such a Kingdom.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
