Whosoever entereth the Kingdom of God is under the
protection of Bahá’u’lláh. The changes and chances of the material world,
whether good or bad, are like the waves of the sea, which pass away and are no
more. They are not worthy of attention.… The denizens of the Kingdom derive
their joy from the bounties of God and set their hopes on His infinite grace.
They exult in the outpourings of divine bounty and are gladdened by the favours
of the Lord of Hosts. In the fire of tribulations they remain fresh and
verdant, and in the tempest of trials and afflictions tranquil and at peace,
for they rest their backs against a mighty mountain and take refuge in a ship
wrought of steel.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, quoted by the Universal House
of Justice in a letter dated 24 October 2018 to the believers in the Cradle of
the Faith - authorized translation)
