When in Bahá'í history
O thou ignited candle!
The real light is the light of the love o God. Praise be to God! thy face is illumined by the radiance of the divine love and thy nostrils are perfumed through the fragrances of the garden of the Kingdom of Abha, and thou art engaged, night and day, in service in this divine garden and art spreading the Tablets of Abdul-Baha. Wherefore, thank thou God that thou art assisted to such a service.
