Be not sorrowful on account of the departure of thy good
son. He hath indeed departed from this narrow and gloomy world which is
darkened by unlimited sorrow, unto the Kingdom which is spacious, illumined,
joyous and beautiful. God delivered him from this dark well and promoted him
unto the Supreme Height! He gave him wings whereby he soared to the heaven of
happiness. Verily this is the great mercy from Him who is precious and
forgiving.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha,
vol. 1’)
