Be thou loving to every afflicted one, a dispeller of
sorrows to every grieved one, a refuge to every fearful one, a heavenly food to
every destitute one, a balm to every wounded one, a consolation to dejected
hearts, a blessing to unfortunate souls, a treasure to every begging one and a
succor to every lamenting one—so that thou mayest be a banner of guidance and
the essence of piety among the maid-servants of thy Supreme Lord. Verily, thy
Lord is the Beneficent, the Gracious, the Bestower!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1’)
