Set aside every mention save the mention of God and abandon
everything save the divulgence of the Testament, be attracted by the magnet of
the Covenant that thou mayest see the triumph of the angels of the King of the
Kingdom and the valor of the hosts of the Lord of Might. By the life of the
Lord! The Invincible Power will indeed strengthen, the Holy Spirit will speak
in thy mouth, the Word of God will be revealed in thy heart, the sound of the
trumpet of the Lord will gladden thee, the light of unity will shine from thy
brow, the doors of success and prosperity will be opened upon thy face and the
secrets of the Holy Books will be unfolded. Then, at that time, thou shalt cry
at the top of thy voice, saying: “Blessed I am for this great bounty! Blessed I
am for this evident victory! Blessed I am for this power which could not be
resisted by the powers of whomsoever is upon the earth!”
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
