3 Paragraphs

"..The grace of effective intercession is one of the perfections belonging to advanced souls, as well as to the Manifestations of God.. Followers of the prophets have also this power of praying for the forgiveness of souls. Therefore we may not think that any souls are condemned to at stationary condition.. The power of effective intercession for them always exists... (193:6)

The rich in the other world can help the poor.. the more they supplicate the richer they become. What is their merchandise, their wealth?.. what is their help..? It is intercession. Undeveloped souls must gain progress at first through the supplications of the spiritually rich; afterwards they can progress through their own supplications. (194:1)

..Those who have ascended have different attributes from those who are still on earth, yet there is no real separation. Pray for them as they pray for you." ('Abdul-Baha) (194:2)
