…the station of searching after truth and seeking the
knowledge of the real—that station wherein the sore athirst longs for the water
of life and the struggling fish reaches the sea, wherein the ailing soul seeks
the true physician and partakes of divine healing, wherein the lost caravan
finds the path of truth and the aimless and wandering ship attains the shore of
salvation…
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Table talks in Akka, authenticated by ‘Abdu’l-Baha;
‘Some Answered Questions’ – 2014 revised translation by the Baha’i World
Centre)
