…you must engage in the service of the Cause of God with the
utmost firmness, steadfastness and resolution, and expend day and night in the
promotion of the Religion of God. Do not unloose your tongues save for
conveying the Message! Do not behold save the Kingdom of Abha! Wish for no
other companion save the True One. Do ye not desire other associate save
turning thy face toward the Supreme Horizon. Do ye not search for any other
delicacy save the Heavenly Food, and do ye not hope for any other sweetness
save the love of the Beauty of Abha.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, Star of the
West, vol. 5, no. 1, March 21, 1914)
