He looked down at us as we walked up after Him, saying with
a bright smile, from which all traces of fatigue had vanished:
"You are all very old! I am very young!"
Seeing me full of wonder, 'Abdu'l-Bahá said: "Through
the power of Bahá'u'lláh all things can be done. I have just used that
power."
That was the only time we had ever seen Him use that power
for Himself, and I feel that He did so then to cheer and comfort us, as we were
really sad concerning His fatigue.
Might it not also have been to show us an example of the
great Reserve of Divine Force always available for those of us who are working
in various ways in the "Path of the Love of God and of Mankind." A
celestial strength which reinforces us when our human strength fails.
