The spiritual world is like unto the phenomenal world. They
are the exact counterpart of each other. Whatever objects appear in this world of
existence are the outer pictures of the world of heaven. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, from a
talk, 13 April 1912; ‘The Promulgation
of Universal Peace: Talks Delivered by 'Abdu'l-Bahá during His Visit to the
United States and Canada in 1912’)
