Let God’s beloved, each and every one, be the essence of
purity, the very life of holiness, so that in every country they may become
famed for their sanctity, independence of spirit, and meekness. Let them be
cheered by draughts from the eternal cup of love for God, and make merry as
they drink from the wine-vaults of Heaven. Let them behold the Blessed Beauty,
and feel the flame and rapture of that meeting, and be struck dumb with awe and
wonder. This is the station of the sincere; this is the way of the loyal; this
is the brightness that shineth on the faces of those nigh unto God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
