But regarding the progress of the spirit in the world of the
Kingdom after its ascension, it is wholly beyond space and time, and
developments, after leaving this body, are spiritual and not terrestrial. It is
like unto the progress of the child from the world of the foetus to the world
of maturity and intelligence, from the world of ignorance to the world of
knowledge, from the station of imperfection to the pinnacle of perfection. As
Divine Perfections are infinite, therefore the progress of the spirit is
limitless.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet to Ella Goodall Cooper; Star of the
West, vol. 2, no. 15, December 12, 1911)
