O thou who art attracted by the Fragrances of God and
steadfast in the Covenant of God! Verily I read thine eloquent letter, the
composition of which was beautiful, words excellent and significances
interesting, and I thanked God that He hath chosen certain souls for His
knowledge and love, deposited in their hearts His mysteries, manifested from
their faces His lights and made them the signs of His Kingdom, the banners of
His majesty, the trees of His paradise and the birds of the garden of His
holiness. - ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2)
