If thou walkest in this right path, thou wouldst become a real mother to the children, both spiritually and materially.... (“Tablets of Abdul-Baha Abbas”, vol. III (Chicago: Bahá’í Publishing Society, 1916), Vol. III, p. 606) [90] “91: Deliver my longings and greetings to the consolation of thine eye... and...” Deliver my longings and greetings to the consolation of thine eye(17) ... and to thy younger son ... Verily I love them both even as a compassionate father loveth his dear children. As to thee, have for them an abundant love and exert thine utmost in training them, so that their being may grow through the milk of the love of God, forasmuch as it is the duty of parents to perfectly and thoroughly train their children. There are also certain sacred duties on children toward parents, which duties are written in the Book of God, as belonging to God.(18) The (children’s) prosperity in this world and the Kingdom depends upon the good pleasure of parents, and without this they will be in manifest loss. (“Tablets of Abdul-Baha Abbas”, vol. II (Chicago: Bahá’í Publishing Society, 1915), Vol. II, pp. 262–3) [91] “92: ...O dear one of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá!

Your father is compassionate, clement and merciful unto you and desireth for you success, prosperity and eternal life in the Kingdom of God. Therefore, it is incumbent upon you, dear children, to seek his good pleasure, to be guided by his guidance, to be drawn by the magnet of the love of God and be brought up in the lap of the love of God; that ye may become beautiful branches in the Gardens of EL-ABHÁ, verdant and watered by the abundance of the gift of God. (“Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá”, Vol. III, p. 622) [93] “94: It is incumbent upon the youth to walk in the footsteps of Hakím...” It is incumbent upon the youth to walk in the footsteps of Hakím(19) to be trained in his ways, for such important souls as he and his like have now ascended to the Kingdom of Abhá. The youth must grow and develop and take the place of their fathers, that this abundant grace, in the posterity of each one of the loved ones of God who bore great agonies, may day by day increase, until in the end it shall yield its fruit on earth and in Heaven.
