O thou flame of God’s love! What thou hast written hath
brought great joy, for thy letter was as a garden from which roses of inner meanings
spread abroad the sweet exhalations of the love of God. In the same way, my
answers will serve as rain showers and dew, to bestow on those spiritual plants
that have blossomed in the garden of thy heart more freshness and delicate
beauty than words can tell.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of
‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
