You will find many
of the wealthy exposed to dangers and troubled by difficulties, and in their
last moments upon the bed of death there remains the regret that they must be
separated from that to which their hearts are so attached. They come into this
world naked, and they must go from it naked. All they possess they must leave
behind and pass away solitary, alone. Often at the time of death their souls
are filled with remorse…
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, 19 April, 1912, New York;
‘The Promulgation of Universal Peace: Talks Delivered by 'Abdu'l-Bahá during
His Visit to the United States and Canada in 1912’)
