Be not grieved and afflicted for this calamity which hath
befallen thee; nay, rather, rejoice that God hath favored (thy babe) with His
heavenly gifts. Truly, I say unto thee, wert thou informed of that felicity
which thy babe hath attained in the worlds of God, thy breast would be dilated
and thy soul would be purified. Truly, I say unto thee, thy child will be
fostered from the breast of the gift of God in the Exalted Kingdom and will be
nursed in the bosom of mercy in the Supreme World of God. Therefore, be filled
with delight, for the favor of thy Lord is very great!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
