The beloved of God must each be the essence of purity and
holiness; so may they be known by their purity, freedom and meekness in every
land; they may drink from the eternal chalice of the love of God, enjoy its
ecstasy, and through meeting the Beauty of Abha, they should be joyful, active,
aglow with zeal and wonderful. This is the station of the sincere. This is the
quality of those who are firm. This is the illumination of the faces of those
who are near. - ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
