Blessed and happy is he...

I printed out an inspiring passage from the "Tablet of Maqṣúd" that I would like to memorize by keeping it in my pocket and by my side throughout, taking a peek at intervals. It is a beautiful and important Tablet which should be studied by each and all. Here is one, out of many, cherished excerpts:

That one indeed is a man who, today, dedicateth himself to the service of the entire human race. The Great Being saith: Blessed and happy is he that ariseth to promote the best interests of the peoples and kindreds of the earth. In another passage He hath proclaimed: It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens.

(Bahá’u’lláh, Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh Revealed After the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, p. 168)

What is your favorite passage therefrom (find it here)?

Otherwise, learned to focus, avoid certain unnecessary distractions, be in a prayerful state, and trust in God.
