Extract from a Tablet of ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá

The purpose of life in this world is for a human being to obtain eternal grace, to become illumined with the light of faith, to drink from the spring of certitude, to discover the Kingdom of God, to acquire the virtues of humanity, and to attain the good-pleasure of God.

—‘Abdu’l‑Bahá
