O thou effulgence of the Kingdom! I read thy letter and was
informed of thy speech, the contents of which were full of the feelings within
thy consciousness, and of thy spiritual sympathies. The light is divided into
two kinds, material and spiritual. The material light is a vanishing matter and
is known by etheric vibrations. But the spiritual light is the divine, eternal
and never-ending quality and is a truth of the Kingdom. Blessed is thy face for
that it hath taken a portion and a radiance from that Light.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2)
