Spiritual Relationship

1

In the evening of September 28th, `Abdu'l-Bahá was with a number of assembled guests.

2

He said all of you here are sisters. Bodily relationships may pass; even two sisters may be inimical to each other, but the spiritual relationship is eternal, and brings about mutual love and service.

3

Be always kind to everyone and a refuge for those who are without shelter.
4

Be daughters to those who are older than you.
5

Be sisters to those who are of your own age.
6

Be mothers to those who are younger than yourselves.
7

Be nurses to the sick, treasurers for the poor, and supply heavenly food to the hungry.

A Persian doctor from Qazvín said this was a great work of God that the East and the West had become so united, and we must always thank God that the Bahá'í cause had produced such great harmony and union between us. The result of this visit of `Abdu'l-Bahá to the West would be very great.
