Abiding

Such as have believed in God and in His signs are indeed the followers of truth and shall abide in the gardens of delight.

The Báb, Selections from the Writings of the Báb, p. 167

Bring them into the world that abideth forever; grant them a portion of heavenly grace.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, p. 75

May God bring them into the Realm that abides forever, to delight in reunion with Him, to bask in the Kingdom of Splendors.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Memorials of the Faithful, p. 63

Therefore do the lovers of the Bahá Beauty wish for no other recompense but to reach that station where they may gaze upon Him in the Realm of Glory, and they walk no other path save over desert sands of longing for those exalted heights. They seek that ease and solace which will abide forever, and those bestowals that are sanctified beyond the understanding of the worldly mind.
