Some feelings occur accidentally and some have a foundation.
For example: some people are naturally kind, but they may be accidentally upset
by a wave of anger. But if they hear music, the true nature will reassert
itself. Music really awakens the real, natural nature, the individual essence.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, recorded by Mary Lucas during her pilgrimage in 1905; ‘A Brief
Account of My Visit to Acca’, by Mary Lucas)
