One of the servants asked why man is not thankful when in
comfort?
‘Abdu'l-Bahá replied: ‘It is due to negligence. Otherwise
one must be aware and thankful when immersed in the sea of bounties.'
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of
‘Abdu’l-Baha aboard the ship, March 26, 1912, recorded by Mahmud Zarqani; ‘Mahmud’s
Diary’)
