Verily I read thy words of thanksgiving to God for that He
hath directed thee to His Kingdom, illuminated thine insight with the light of
guidance, and baptized thee with the water which hath descended from heaven,
with the fire which was ignited in the Sinaitic Tree, and with the Holy Spirit
which quickeneth hearts and souls. Then, thank thou God for this gift whereby
thy face is shining amid the concourse of Chosen Ones.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
