A Plant of the Kingdom
'Abdu'l-Bahá, Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Bahá Abbas, (1909) · Read original
When in Bahá'í history
O thou plant in the Garden of the Kingdom!
God created man in the utmost perfection, for He inscribed the edict of the divine likeness on his brow. Every excellent person (or soul), if confirmed by the heavenly bounty, is a plant of the Kingdom and becometh green and refreshed and putteth forth wonderful blossoms and groweth on the river bank of the love of God.
