“O servant of Bahá! Be self-sacrificing in the path of God, and wing thy flight unto the heavens of the love of the Abhá Beauty, for any movement animated by love moveth from the periphery to the center, from space to the Daystar of the universe. Perchance thou deemest this to be difficult, but I tell thee that such cannot be the case, for when the motivating and guiding power is the divine force of magnetism it is possible, by its aid, to traverse time and space easily and swiftly. Glory be upon the people of Bahá.” -‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

“Di: Bendito sea el adormecido que es despertado por mi Brisa. Bendito el desfallecido que es reanimado con mis revivificadores hálitos. Bendito el ojo que se solaza en la contemplación de mi belleza. Bendito el caminante que dirige sus pasos hacia el Tabernáculo de mi gloria y majestad.” –
Baha’u’llah, Tabla a los Cristianos

“In this city, even the veils of light are split asunder and vanish away. “His beauty hath no veiling save light, His face no covering save revelation.” How strange that while the Beloved is visible as the sun, yet the heedless still hunt after tinsel and base metal. Yea, the intensity of His revelation hath covered Him, and the fullness of His shining forth hath hidden Him.” -Bahá’u’lláh, The Seven Valleys And the Four Valleys

“Love should be a tree whose roots are deep in the earth, but whose branches extend into heaven.” -Betrand Russell
“I love more deeply each person I see / Acknowledging they’re heavenly.” -June Perkins, Poem

“Happy the soul that shall forget his own good, and like the chosen ones of God, vie with his fellows in service to the good of all; until, strengthened by the blessings and perpetual confirmations of God, he shall be empowered to raise this mighty nation up to its ancient pinnacles of glory, and restore this withered land to sweet new life, and as a spiritual springtime, array those trees which are the lives of men with the fresh leaves, the blossoms and fruits of consecrated joy.” -Abdu’l-Baha, The Secret of Divine Civilization

“Through thee, O land of resplendent glory (Ṭihrán), the ensign, “There is none other God but Him,” hath been unfurled, and the standard, “Verily I am the Truth, the Knower of things unseen,” been hoisted. It behoveth every one that visiteth thee to glory in thee and in them that inhabit thee, that have branched from My Tree, who are the leaves thereof, who are the signs of My glory, who follow Me and are My lovers, and who, with the most mighty determination, have turned their faces in the direction of My glorious station.” -Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh
