The state in which one
should be to seriously search for the truth is the condition of the thirsty,
burning soul desiring the water of life, of the fish struggling to reach the
sea, of the sufferer seeking for the true doctor to obtain the divine cure, of
the lost caravan endeavoring to find the right road, of the lost and wandering
ship striving to reach the shore of salvation.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, table
talks in Akka, authenticated by ‘Abdu’l-Baha; ‘Some Answered Questions’)
