When the human soul soareth out of this transient heap of
dust and riseth into the world of God, then veils will fall away, and verities
will come to light, and all things unknown before will be made clear, and
hidden truths be understood.
Consider how a being, in the world of the womb, was deaf of
ear and blind of eye, and mute of tongue; how he was bereft of any perceptions
at all. But once, out of that world of darkness, he passed into this world of
light, then his eye saw, his ear heard, his tongue spoke. In the same way, once
he hath hastened away from this mortal place into the Kingdom of God, then he
will be born in the spirit; then the eye of his perception will open, the ear
of his soul will hearken, and all the truths of which he was ignorant before
will be made plain and clear.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Selections from the Writings of
'Abdu'l-Baha)
