Hold thou fast to the Covenant of thy Lord, and as the days
go by, increase thy store of love for His beloved ones. Bend thou with
tenderness over the servitors of the All-Merciful, that thou mayest hoist the
sail of love upon the ark of peace that moveth across the seas of life. Let
nothing grieve thee, and be thou angered at none. It behoveth thee to be
content with the Will of God, and a true and loving and trusted friend to all
the peoples of the earth, without any exceptions whatever. This is the quality
of the sincere, the way of the saints, the emblem of those who believe in the
unity of God, and the raiment of the people of Bahá.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections
from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
