[While aboard the ship to America] An American came to see the Master in the late afternoon and spoke to Him about his travels around the world. ‘Abdu'l-Bahá told him,
“You have traveled in this world; I hope you will now traverse the world of the Kingdom and become a wayfarer in the realms of the spirit.”
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Quoted by Mírzá Mahmúd, ‘Abdu’l-Baha’s chronicler
during His travels to the West; published in ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
