Mrs. C … We have always understood that ‘Abdu'l-Baha did not eat meat, but
we see that he does. Is he not eating it to please us?
A.B …
Yes, I eat it in order that I may be your partner. In the same way, in the world of the Kingdom,
I may be your partner, God willing, that on earth and in heaven
we may be co-partners.
You are always and everywhere with me.

1920, recorded by some pilgrims)
