Someone in the audience asked, `What shall I do to become a
true servant?' ‘Abdu’l-Baha replied:
Act in accordance with the teachings of Bahá'u'lláh. Do not
only read His teachings but put into practice in your lives the Hidden Words
and the other holy writings. Whatever I say is not even a drop from the ocean
of the Supreme Pen and the treasure-filled sea of the bounty and favor of the
Abhá Beauty.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, 24 September 1912, Denver, USA; ‘Mahmud’s
Diary’)
