O thou dear maid-servant of God! In reality thou art faithful and assured,
thoughtful and mentioning the name of thy Lord. All the inhabitants of the
Kingdom are satisfied with thy service, and the approximate angels are opening
their tongues in thy praise. These angels are spiritual and merciful powers,
and in one sense the angels are those sanctified souls who have disentangled
themselves from the world of possession and are confirmed with the powers of
the Kingdom. However, be thou not sad. Rejoice and delight in the divine
glad-tidings!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2)
