Question: How must we cut our hearts from the World?
‘Abdu’l-Baha: “The hearts that are directed
towards God, the love that burns in them, that love will separate them from all
other things; that love will be the wall that will come between them and every
other desire.”
“The nearer to God the farther from the world; the nearer to the fire, the farther from the cold; the nearer to life, the farther from death. This is the balance, this is the balance!”
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Utterances of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, recorded by Anne Apperson Flint during her pilgrimage, February 1899, Akka)
