Question: How must we cut our hearts from the World?
‘Abdu’l-Baha said:
“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!”
(Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, recorded by
Anne Apperson Flint, February 1899, Akka)
