O thou dear maid-servant of God!
Thank God that thou hast come near unto the Holy Threshold
and art dear in the Kingdom of His Glory. Thou art president of an assembly
which is a type of the assemblages of the Supreme Concourse and a reflection of
the semblances of the Kingdom of God. With heart and soul, with entire
devotion, supplication, humbleness and submissiveness, endeavor to promulgate
the law of God and strive to diffuse the fragrances of God. Exert yourself to
become the real president of assemblies of spiritual ones and a companion of
the Kingdom of the Merciful.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
