It is
incumbent upon thee to assemble continuously with the beloved of God and to
meet with those whose faces are illumined with the light of the love of God.
Verily, I supplicate to God to make thee sincere in this love, to illumine thee
with the light of His Kingdom, to destine unto thee the illumination by the
light of His attributes, to make thee a sign of mercy, a bird warbling the
verses of unity; that thou mayest be nurtured in the bosom of His providence,
and become a growing tree bearing fruit in the Paradise of El-ABHA.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol.1)
