It behooveth the loved ones
of God to be enamored of one another and to sacrifice themselves for their
fellow-workers in the Cause. They should yearn towards one another even as the
sore athirst yearneth for the Water of Life, and the lover burneth to meet his
heart’s desire.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in a letter dated March
12, 1923, ‘Baha’i Administration’)
