O thou servant who art near and dear to the Glorious
Threshold!
Give thanks to God for having been ushered into His Kingdom,
partaken of the heavenly table and the “lord’s supper,” attained ecstasy by the
wine of His love, become enrolled as a soldier for life among the hosts of the
Lord, and [for His having] blessed thy head with a crown of great guidance,
whose gems and pearls illumine the ages.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1’)
