[As the time of departure grew near, the friends in Los
Angeles were in a spiritual and prayerful mood. The Master spoke to them:]
Thank the Lord that you have attained His eternal favors and
have been blessed with seeing eyes. All are blind but you are endowed with
sight. All are earthly but you are heavenly. Although you live on earth, you
soar high in heaven. It is my hope that day by day you will seek assistance and
will rise to promote the Word of God. Go every year to visit the grave of Mr.
Chase on my behalf, for he was a sanctified soul; his station will be known
later.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, from a talk, October 21, Los Angeles, USA,
recorded by Mahmud Zarqani; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
