Become thou a new creation and be thou patient and
forbearing. Be baptized by the fire of the love of God and by the spirit of the
knowledge of God, in order that thou mayest become characterized by the
spiritual attributes; attain to the nature of that kind Beloved; be so
enkindled that thou mayest illumine a region, become a sign of guidance and an
ensign of the love of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
