…man must be the seeker after
the Reality, and he will find that Reality in each of the Sanctified Souls
[Manifestations of God]. He must be fascinated and enraptured, and attracted to
the divine bounty; he must be like the butterfly who is the lover of the light
from whatever lamp it may shine, and like the nightingale who is the lover of
the rose in whatever garden it may grow.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, table talks in
Akka, authenticated by ‘Abdu’l-Baha; ‘Some Answered Questions’)
