Moreover, everything is limited except the bounty of God and
this bounty descends upon man through teaching the Cause of God; then divine
inspiration will assist him. It is for this reason that Christ said that
whenever you wish to talk do not think about it, the Holy Spirit will inspire
you. If you desire eternal honor, everlasting life and heavenly exaltation,
then teach the Cause. Divine confirmations shall attend you; this has been
experienced. But it calls for firmness and steadfastness. Consider the disciples
of Christ and observe with what firmness they arose until the Cause of God
advanced. They even sacrificed their lives for this. - 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha,
