Thou didst ask as to chapter 14, verse 30 of the Gospel of
John, where the Lord Christ saith, ‘Hereafter I will not talk much with you:
for the Prince of this world cometh, and hath nothing in Me.’ The Prince of
this world is the Blessed Beauty; and ‘hath nothing in Me’ signifieth: after Me
all will draw grace from Me, but He is independent of Me, and will draw no
grace from Me. That is, He is rich beyond any grace of Mine.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
