O thou who art directed unto God! Verily, I saw thy photograph and was rejoiced
by perceiving thy illumined likeness, which proved the purity of thy heart and
thy being well directed unto God.
Strive with thy power to paint thy likeness on the pages of
the hearts with such beauty as to brighten the minds. That beauty is the splendor
of the Merciful and the glad-tidings of thy Lord, the Clement, whereby the
faces shine with an eternal light in the course of ages and centuries.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2)
