Mrs. C: We have always understood that ‘Abdu'l-Baha did not eat meat, but we see that He does. Is He not eating it to please us?
‘Abdu’l-Baha: Yes, I eat it in order that I may be your partner. In the same way, in the world of the Kingdom, I may be your partner, God willing, that on earth and in heaven we may be co-partners. You are always and everywhere with me.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, October 27, 1920, recorded by a pilgrim)
