The quotation that appears on page 32 (and partially on page 16) "We have proved that nothing is completely worthy of our heart's devotion save reality... your horizons will broaden until in the end they will embrace the universe", is from the 1918 compilation `Abdu'l-Bahá on Divine Philosophy, pp. 135-137 (ABU1890). For this text no Persian transcript is known.
