O flame of the love of God! The ray must shed light and the
sun must rise; the full moon must shine and the star must gleam. Since thou art
a ray, beseech thou the Lord to enable thee to give illumination and
enlightenment, to brighten the horizons and to consume the world with the fire
of the love of God. I hope that thou mayest attain such a station, nay, surpass
it. Upon thee be His glory.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, ‘Additional Tablets,
Extracts and Talks”; Online Baha’i Reference Library, Baha’i World Centre)
