From the Writings of `ABDU'L-BAHÁ

‘Abdu’l-Bahá
Translated from Persian

O Díyá! It is incumbent upon thee, throughout the journey, to be a close, a constant and cheerful companion to my honoured and distinguished sister. Unceasingly, with the utmost vigour and devotion, exert thyself, by day and night, to gladden her blessed heart; for all her days she was denied a moment of tranquillity. She was astir and restless every hour of her life. Moth-like she circled in adoration round the undying flame of the Divine Candle, her spirit ablaze and her heart consumed by the fire of His love....

Notes: From a Tablet addressed to Diya’íyyih Khánum, eldest daughter of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. (See The Bahá’í World, vol. V, p. 172)
