The dependence of human spirit on the divine Spirit

O maid-servant of God! The human spirit hath an impression and effect in the world, but the divine Spirit giveth life to the souls and conferreth eternal life upon those who are attracted to the fragrances of God. This is the Great Cause from the Kingdom of thy Lord.

Be attached to this New Spirit which hath effective power in the realities of things and creates new creatures. 
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’, vol. 1)
