O thou who art desirous of the Kingdom of God! Thy letter
was the cause of happiness and its contents were the proof of thy turning to
the Shining Beauty. In this blessed period, when the light of the endless
bounties is illuminating the dark world, some souls, like the butterfly,
circled round the Divine Lamp and with perfect yearning sacrificed their lives.
I ask of God that thou mayest be one of those souls, so that the rays of
knowledge will shine forth from thy face to those regions and will be the cause
of guiding the seekers of Reality.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha,
vol. 2)
