I beg of God that the divine light which is spoken of in the
Twelfth Chapter of John may shed its rays upon thee forever, so that thou
mayest always be in light. The life of man in this world is short and will soon
drawn to an end. Consequently one must appreciate every
breath of his life and endeavor in that which is conducive to
eternal glory.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
