O thou who art rejoiced by the Divine Glad tidings! Verily I have received thy last letter, and
thanked God that thou didst reach Paris protected and guarded by Him. Thank
thou God that He assisted thee to behold the brilliant faces of the believers
of God, and favored thee to meet them in American countries; for verily,
beholding those shining countenances is a divine gift. By it, the hearts are dilated,
the souls are rejoiced, and the spirits are attracted toward the Supreme
Concourse.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet; Star of the West, vol. 5, no. 19,
March 2, 1915)
