Consider: eminent
personages whose fame hath spread all over the world shall, erelong, fade into
utter nothingness as the result of their deprivation of this heavenly bounty;
no name and no fame shall they leave behind, and of them no fruit and trace
shall survive. But as the effulgences of the Sun of Truth have dawned forth
upon you and ye have attained everlasting life, ye shall shine and sparkle
forevermore from the horizon of existence.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the
Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
