One day we spoke of an active worker in this Cause, and
'Abdu'l-Baha said:
"In this Cause, he who is active and who makes an
effort will always meet with success. In
worldly matters how often we see a man work hard for a lifetime and never
achieve success. But the worker in the cause of God is like a gardener. The more
attention he gives his garden, the more fruit will reward his efforts, or, like
the traveler who has a great goal before him, no matter how hard the road, if he
only keep on walking and is not turned aside by discouragements, he is sure,
eventually, to reach his goal."
-' Abdu'l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, recorded by Helen
Goodall and Ella Goodall Cooper during their pilgrimage in 1908; ‘Daily Lessons
Received at Akka January 1908’)
