When ‘Abdu’l-Baha was leaving [the Shrine of the Báb], his
honor Ibn-i-Asdaq,
one of the famous teachers in Persia fell on his knees at ‘Abdu’l-Baha's feet. ‘Abdu’l-
Baha said: ''According to the blessed command, it is not permitted to fall on
the knees and bow down except before the blessed home and the tombs of Baha'u'llah
and the Báb. Beware of deviating from the divine commands."
