…when… a young believer… asked of the beloved ‘Abdu’l-Bahá
instructions as to the method of teaching and attracting souls to the Light—He
replied in a beautiful Tablet describing the life of detachment, purity, and
dedication to the service of God, which should be lived by the one who was
desirous of teaching.
