O thou possessor of a seeing heart! Although, materially
speaking, thou art deprived of physical sight, yet, praise be to God, spiritual
insight is thine. Thy heart seeth and thy spirit heareth. Bodily sight is
subject to a thousand maladies and assuredly will ultimately be lost. Thus no
importance should be attached to it. But the sight of the
heart is illumined. It discerneth and discovereth the divine Kingdom. It is
everlasting and eternal. Praise God, therefore, that the sight of thy heart is
illumined, and the hearing of thy mind responsive.
Each of the meetings ye have organized, wherein ye feel
heavenly emotions and comprehend realities and significances, is like unto the
firmament, and those souls are as resplendent stars shining with the light of
guidance.
Happy is the soul that seeketh, in this brilliant era,
heavenly teachings, and blessed is the heart which is stirred and attracted by
the love of God. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
