Someone in the audience asked, `What
shall I do to become a true servant?' ‘Abdu’l-Baha replied:
Act in accordance with the teachings of
Bahá'u'lláh. Do not only read His teachings but put into practice in your lives
the Hidden Words and the other holy writings. Whatever I say is not even a drop
from the ocean of the Supreme Pen and the treasure-filled sea of the bounty and
favor of the Abhá Beauty.
- Abdu'l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, 24 September 1912, Denver,
USA; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
