- To conclude; the beings, whether great or small, are connected with one another by the perfect wisdom of God, and affect and influence each other.
- For what the divine Prophets meant by return is not return of the essence, but that of the utilities; it is not the return of manifestations but that of the perfections.
- Rarely does it happen that a father or a mother in this world see the reward of the care nd trouble they have undergone for their children. When the children have reached the age of maturity, the parents pass on to the other world. Therefore children, in return for this care and trouble, must show forth clarity and beneficence, and must implore pardon and forgiveness from their parents.
- Like it or not, you got stuck with this soul for eternity.
- Bahai doesnt believe in reencarnation because there is no need, you learn from this physical life and then you let go, which is essential for your spiritual growth.
- Aim is to understand God and to spread its love, care and kindness.
- God has created all and all will return to God
- Grieve thou not over the troubles and hardships of this nethel world, nor be thou glad in times of ease and comfort, for both shall pass away. God’s kingdom is the real world, this place is just a shadow of it.
- Who has spiritual wisdom will have the glory of heaven in this world and afterwards.
- Every foundation will finally collapse, vanish and disappear. But tital annihilation is impossible. You change and continue (like in quantum physics). Therefore there is no nonexistence. Death is just a transference (like before birth)
- Just as the vegetable kingdom is unaware of the life, we too are unaware of the great life afterwards.
- At first it is very difficult to welcome death, but after attaining its new condition the soul is grateful, for it has been released from the bondage of the limited to enjoy the liberties of the unlimited. It has been freed from a world of sorrow, grief and trials; to live in a world of unending bliss and joy. Into a world superior to this. From darkness to light.

This is a great book about the journey of the soul after death, that we return to God and that world is the real world. That we continue existing. This earth is an illusion and that we have to bring ourselves to account. The soul is a sign of God which we must develop with spiritual qualities that we take to the next world.
