As for that mighty solar orb which thou didst behold in thy
dream, that was the Promised One, and its spreading rays were His bounties, and
the translucent surface of the mass of water signifieth hearts that are
undefiled and pure, while the surging waves denote the great excitement of
those hearts and the fact that they were shaken and deeply moved, that is, the
waves are the stirrings of the spirit and holy intimations of the soul. Praise
thou God that in the world of the dream thou hast witnessed such disclosures.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
