Verily, the weakness of body and its strength do neither
harm nor benefit; nay, rather the spirit must be strong through the breath of
the Holy Spirit, at this time, so that it may apprehend the consummate wisdom
which is deposited in this great age. I beg of God that He may increase joy and
fragrance in thy spirit, give thee power and strength, and that He may help
thee at every moment in faith and assurance. Verily my Lord is powerful in all
things! Trust thou in the grace of thy Master and ask that which thou wishest
from His Name, the Clement, the Merciful.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
