Comfort thy mother and endeavor to do what is conducive to
the happiness of her heart. Approach not those who are drowned in the sea of
this world, but rather be enkindled by the fire of the love of God. Be thou
such a flame whereby the hearts may be set aglow.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol.1)
