Loneliness

Be not grieved if thou performest it thyself alone. Let God be all-sufficient for thee. Commune intimately with His Spirit, and be thou of the thankful.

Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 279

O Lord! Grant me communion with Thee in my loneliness, and be my companion in these foreign lands.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of the Divine Plan, p. 46

There is no harm in thy loneliness in those regions; for verily, the hosts of confirmation are thy help, thy Glorious Lord is thy protector and the angels of the Kingdom are thy fellow-speakers. Glad-tidings be unto thee for this! Blessed art thou for this!

‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v1, p. 61
