The lights of earth are all acceptable, but the center of
effulgence is the sun, and we must direct our gaze to the sun. God is the
Supreme Center. The more we turn toward this Center of Light, the greater will
be our capacity.

Delivered by 'Abdu'l-Bahá during His Visit to the United States and Canada in
1912’)
