Thank God that He guided thee unto the fountain of guidance,
gave thee to drink from the cup of affection, summoned thee unto His Supreme
Kingdom and chose thee from among those people. This is a favor wholly above
comprehension and is not realized by the intellects which are negligent of the
Lord of hosts and angels.
O thou friend! Endeavor so that thou mayest ascend to the
station which is above the firmaments, near to the Generous Lord who created
and made thee.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
