According to what I have heard, thou hast experienced a
great financial loss. Do not feel sorry, for thou wilt be compensated. I hope
that whatever thou hast lost will come back to thee. But this material loss is
not a very grave one; it is for a time and shall pass away. Praise be to God!
—that thou hast a share in the Kingdom of God and art receiving gifts from the
treasury of the Holy Spirit. Do not feel sorry; do not brood over the loss; do
not sit down depressed; do not be silent; but, on the contrary, day and night
be engaged in the commemoration of thy Lord in the greatest joy and gladness.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
