"If you attain to such a capacity of love and unity the Blessed Perfection will shower infinite graces of the spiritual Kingdom upon you, guide, protect and preserve you... increase your happiness... and uphold you through all difficulties." (Pup 22) (104:8) "O Son of Worldliness!... sweet is the holy ecstacy if thou drinkest of the mystic chalice from the hands of the celestial Youth." (Hwp 46) (104:9) "For such people (Baha'is) there is... no more severe punishment than sensual vices, dark qualities, lowness of nature, engrossment in carnal desires." (Bwf 324) (104:10) "The spiritual love of God maketh man pure and holy and clotheth him with the garment of virtue and purity." (Tab I 22) (104:11) "The sweetest thing in this world is to obey strictly the commands of God and shun His prohibitions. Through this the attractions of the love of God will be created in the human consciousness... For example, there is nothing sweeter in the world of existence than prayer. Man must live in a state of prayerfulness. The most blessed condition is the condition of prayer and supplication. Prayer is 'conversation with God'... It creates spirituality, generates mindfulness and celestial feelings, begets the attraction of the Kingdom and engenders the susceptibilities of the higher intelligence." (SofW Vol 9 p103- 4)
