He who hath knowledge and power will rather seek out the
glory of heaven, and spiritual distinction, and the life that dieth not. And
such a one longeth to approach the sacred Threshold of God; for in the tavern
of this swiftly-passing world the man of God will not lie drunken, nor will he
even for a moment take his ease, nor stain himself with any fondness for this
earthly life.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha)
