What follows is my provisional translation (in other words, not official or authorized; see here for more) of a passage from a Tablet of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, the original text of which has been published in Má’idiy-i-Ásmání, vol. 2, p. 109.
Those souls who have detached themselves from the world of humanity and acquired heavenly attributes are reckoned among the Concourse on High, numbered with the angels brought nigh unto God, and designated by the name “angelic beings.” Those embodiments of these qualities, though outwardly raised up in human temples, are in truth sanctified essences and holy realities.
A typescript of the original Persian text of this passage appears below.
