On the eve of the ninth Anniverasary for Sept 11, 2001, I would like to quote a passage written by Abdu'l-Baha. It can be found in the book Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha Abbas.
"My only joy in this swiftly passing world was to tread the stony path of God and to endure hard tests and all material strife. For otherwise this earthly life would prove barren and vain; and better would be death. The tree of being would produce no fruit; the sown field of this existence would yield no harvest. Thus it is my hope that once again some circulstances will make my cup of anguish to brim over and that beauteous Love, that Slayer of souls, will dazzle the beholders again. Then will this heart be blissful; this soul be blessed."
