Be thou rejoiced at the glad-tidings of God! Be as a globe
of fire from which the heat of the love of God will be diffused. Sanctify
thyself from the grades of this world, be purified from the superstitions of
people and be characterized with spiritual qualities. Be thou a mountain of
quiescence, a sign of meekness, a sea of patience, a light of love, a standard
of utter separation (from all else save God), so that thou mayest become
everlasting in the Kingdom of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha,
vol. 2)
