Give a path, take a Path

 

Remember: When hope (and with it your desire) has been altogether spent,

you may well be given the world, as a surprise, in recompense!

Forward, then--exhaust that little hope of yours,

and invest thereby in a new life-script

written by Providence, for your own benefit!

Dictum:

Until a being setteth his foot in the plane of sacrifice, he is bereft of every favour and grace; and this plane of sacrifice is the realm of dying to the self, that the radiance of the living God may then shine forth.... Do all ye can to become wholly weary of self, and bind yourselves to that Countenance of Splendours; and once ye have reached such heights of servitude, ye will find, gathered within your shadow, all created things. This is boundless grace; this is the highest sovereignty; this is the life that dieth not...

- 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Selections, pp. 76-77
