"The very fact that our spiritual instinct, surely never given in vain, prompts us to pray for the welfare of those, our loved ones, who have passed out of the material world: does it no bear witness to the continuance of their existence?" (Pt 90) (90:2)

"If the soul of man hath walked in the ways of God, it will, assuredly, return and be gathered to the glory of the Beloved... It shall attain a station such as no pen can depict, or tongue describe. The soul that hath remained faithful to the Cause of God, and stood unwaveringly firm in His Path shall, after his ascension, be possessed of such power that all the worlds which the Almighty hath created can benefit through him. Such a soul provideth, at the bidding of the Ideal King and Divine Educator, the pure leaven that leaveneth the world of being, and furnisheth the power through which the arts and wonders of the world are made manifest... Those souls that are the symbols of detachment are the leaven of the world." (Gl 161) (90:3)

"As to the question whether the souls will recognize each other in the spiritual world: This fact is certain; for the Kingdom is the world of vision where all the concealed realities will become disclosed. How much more the well known souls will become manifest! The mysteries of which man is heedless in this earthly world, these he will discover in the heavenly world, and there will be informed of the secret of truth: how much more will he recognize or discover persons with whom he hath been associated." (Bwf 367) (90:4)

"The souls of the people of Baha', who have entered and been established within the Crimson Ark, shall associate and commune intimately one with another, and shall be so closely associated in their lives, their aspirations, their aims and strivings as to be even as one soul... (90:5)

"The people of Baha'... are, one and all, well aware of one another's state and condition, and are united in the bonds of intimacy and fellowship. Such a state, however, must depend upon their faith and their conduct. They that are of the same grade and station are fully aware of one another's capacity, character, accomplishments and merits. They that are of a lower grade, however, are incapable of comprehending adequately the station, or of estimating the merits, of those that rank above them." (Gl 169- 70) (90:6)

"The worlds of God are countless in their number, and infinite in their range. None can reckon or comprehend them except God, the All- Knowing." (Gl 151- 2) (90:7)

"Worlds, holy and spiritually glorious, will be unveiled to your eyes. You are destined by Him, in this world and hereafter, to partake of their benefits, to share in their joys, and to obtain a portion of their sustaining grace. To each and every one of them you will, no doubt, attain." (Bwf 68) (90:8)
