“Every imperfect soul is self-centred and thinketh only of his own good... But when ideas and views reach the utmost degree of expansion and attain the stage of perfection, then will he be interested in the exaltation of humankind. He will then be the well-wisher of all men and the seeker of the weal and prosperity of all lands. This is indicative of perfection.”

‘Abdu’l-Bahá
