One of the believers asked how we could cut our hearts from the world, and 'Abdu'l-Baha answered:
If your hearts are turned always toward God, and filled with the love of God, that love will separate them from all other things, that love will be the wall that will come between them and every other desire.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Utterances of ‘Abdu’l-Baha quoted by May Maxwell in ‘An Early Pilgrimage’, 1898)
