The Heavenly Wise One proclaimeth: A
harsh word is like a sword, but gentle speech is like unto milk. The children
of the world attain to knowledge and better themselves through this. The tongue
of Wisdom says: Whosoever possesses Me not, has nothing. Pass by whatever
exists in this world and find Me. I am the Sun of Perception and the Ocean of
Science. I revive the withered ones and quicken the dead. I am that Light which
illumines the path of Insight. I am the Falcon of the Hand of the Almighty; I
bear healing in My wings and teach the knowledge of soaring to the Heaven of
Truth. (‘Abdu’l-Baha,
Star of the West, vol. 1, no. 3, April 28, 1910)
