When thou findest the way to the Kingdom, the earthly world
shall be of no account; and when thou art illumined the darkness will not
affect thee—nay, rather the four corners of the earth will then be radiant and
every thorn will become a rose and a rose-garden.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1’)
