Man’s life has its springtime and is endowed with marvellous
glory. The period of youth is characterized by strength and vigour and stands
out as the choicest time in human life. Therefore you should strive day and
night so that endowed with heavenly strength, inspired with brilliant motives
and aided by His celestial power and heavenly grace and confirmation, you may
become the ornaments of the world of humanity, and pre-eminent among those who
are initiated into true learning and the love of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a
Tablet; ‘Baha’i Prayers and Tablets for Children’, prepared by the Research
