O thou who art attracted to the Holy Fragrances!
The light of truth hath made thine eyes to see, the voice of
God hath made thine ears to hear and the lights emanating from the beauty of
the Light of the World both made thine heart attracted and astonished. I hope
that thou wilt cut thyself from all that is in this world; wilt sever thyself
from all desires of this transitory world; wilt attach thy heart entirely to
the light of truth and wilt, at all times, rise in the service of truth in the
rose-garden of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
