This help and assistance are from Him [Baha’u’llah] and these confirmations are through His bounty and favor; otherwise, we are nothing but weak servants. We are as reeds and all these melodies are from Him. We are ants and this dignity of Solomon is from Him. We are servants and this heavenly dominion is from Him. We must, therefore, offer our constant gratitude to Him for His favors and must join heart and soul to praise Him for His blessings.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, New York, June 30, 1912; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
