One of the believers asked how we could cut our hearts from
the world
'Abdu'l-Baha answered:
If your hearts are
turned always toward God, and filled with the love of Cod, that love will
separate them from all other things, that love will be the
wall that will come between them and every other desire. You must all be joined one to another in heart and soul, then you will be prospered in your work and gain ever greater gifts, and the Cause of God will be
spread through all the countries by your means. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, from
an address, quoted by May Maxwell in ‘An Early Pilgrimage’)
