“‘Abdu’l-Baha was asked, ‘What is the truth’. He replied, ‘Truth is the Word of God, which gives life to humanity. It restores sight to the blind and hearing to the deaf; it makes eloquent those who are dumb, and living beings out of dead beings; it illuminates the world of the heart and soul; it reduces to nothingness the iniquities of the neglectful and erring ones. Beauty, perfection, brilliancy and spirituality of this existence come from or through the Word of God. For all it is the supreme goal, the greatest desire, the cause of life, light, instruction. The road to attain to this Truth is the Love of God. When the light of the Love of God is burning in the mirror of the heart, that flame shows the way and guides to the Kingdom of the Word of God.’
“’As to that which causes the growth of the love of God, know that it is to turn one's self toward God.’" (‘Abdu’l-Baha, quoted in the Introductory section of the book: The Baha’i Revelation, by Thornton Chase, 1909)
