The utmost favor is shown toward thee and the divine
bounties are thy guide. endeavor thou, as far as thou canst, in order that thou
mayest be like unto a chaste and clear mirror, cleansed and purified from every
dust, so that the outpouring of the rays of the Sun of Truth may descend and
thou mayest illumine those who are around thee. This is my counsel to thee. I
pray always in thy behalf and supplicate for thy confirmation and assistance,
in order that thou mayest become a sign of the Most Great Bounty and be the
cause of the guidance of many souls. If thou art mindful, seek thou the favor
everlasting and the illumination eternal. Do thou some work, that thou mayest
become favored in the Threshold of the Almighty and a beloved maid-servant of
the Blessed Perfection, in the Kingdom.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha ('Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha,
