He was surely very sorry to hear of the passing away of your father who
was such an old and devoted servant of the Cause. Such persons, at their
passing, proceed to the presence of Baha'u'llah and partake of His
infinite blessings and divine bounties. They enter into a state which,
should we only have the eye to see, we would envy and earnestly desire. It
is only because we ignore the beautiful and glorious life of the world
beyond that we seem attached to our earthly abode and often forget the
goal of our very existence here.
