At present, I pray on thy behalf that
the fire of love be set aglow in thy heart
and spiritual sensations may stir
and move thy soul, so that thou mayest
be quickened, mayest fly and soar toward the Ideal Friend, mayest sacrifice thy soul to the Beloved of the World and consecrate thy life to
the diffusion of the Divine Fragrances . If thou attainest unto such a bounty thou shalt become the sign of guidance, shalt become an enkindled candle in the gathering of men, shalt be baptized with the spirit of life
and the fire of the Love of God, shalt be born again from the world of nature and shalt attain unto everlasting life.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From the
first Tablet to George Townshend, ‘’Abdu’l-Baha, The Master, a compilation from
the writings of George Townshend’, by David Hofman)
