As to thy desire to be severed from this mortal life and thy
great attraction to the eternal life: This is becoming to every discerning
human being who hath a lofty character. I pray God to ordain for thee this pure
life and make thy heart attracted unto exalted grades, favored in His Supreme
Kingdom, humble and meek before every penitent servant and diffusing the
fragrance of God in this new age.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol.
2’)
