(Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 26)

(Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 151-152)

Know thou of a truth that the soul, after its separation from the body, will continue to progress until it attaineth the presence of God, in a state and condition which neither the revolution of ages and centuries, nor the changes and chances of this world, can alter. It will endure as long as the Kingdom of God, His sovereignty, His dominion and power will endure…”
