Me: You think memorizing a Paris Talk is better than a talk from the heart because, you say, the words of Abdu'l-Baha are more "powerful" having something to do with either the creative or revealed Word of God you do not say, I should check with Susan or read a book.

Please answer me as to why you would say such a thing.  --Kent



Dear Kent,

I do agree with you. It's not really what one say whether from the Writings or not. It's how it's said that makes a quote alive and could attract the soul to God. I am sure all remember how Abul-Fadl was attracted to the Faith.

Best regards,
