I beseech the Threshold of Unity with all humility and
supplication to make thee confirmed in His service and to enable thee to be
serviceable in the Holy Threshold; that thou mayest not be a moment at rest nor
take a breath of composure; nay, rather to pass all thy life in this greatest
gift and this supreme favor employed in diffusing the breath of God; that thy
sincerity of heart, thy sanctity and purity may increase and that thou mayest
become entirely separated from aught else save God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1’)
