…the lovers of the Abhá Beauty wish for no other recompense
but to reach that station where they may gaze upon Him [Baha’u’llah] in the
Realm of Glory, and they walk no other path save over desert sands of longing
for those exalted heights. They seek that ease and solace which will abide
forever, and those bestowals that are sanctified beyond the understanding of
the worldly mind.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of
‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
