Praise be to God, thy heart is engaged in the commemoration
of God, thy soul is gladdened by the glad tidings of God and thou art absorbed
in prayer. The state of prayer is the best of conditions, for man is then
associating with God. Prayer verily bestoweth life, particularly when offered
in private and at times, such as midnight, when freed from daily cares.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá (‘Selections from the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá’)
