Turn thy face sincerely toward God; be severed from all save God; be ablaze with the fire of the love of God; be purified and sanctified, and beseech and supplicate unto God. Verily, he responds unto those who invoke him, is near unto those who pray unto him. And he is thy companion in every loneliness, and befriends every exile.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, Star of the West, vol. 8, no. 4, May 17, 1917)
