Those souls that, in this day, enter the divine kingdom and
attain everlasting life, although materially dwelling on earth, yet in reality
soar in the realm of heaven. Their bodies may linger on earth but their spirits
travel in the immensity of space. For as thoughts widen and become illumined,
they acquire the power of flight and transport man to the kingdom of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
