Indeed shouldst Thou desire to confer blessing upon a servant Thou wouldst blot out from the realm of his heart every mention or disposition except Thine Own mention; and shouldst Thou ordain evil for a servant by reason of that which his hands have unjustly wrought before Thy face, Thou wouldst test him with the benefits of this world and of the next that he might become preoccupied therewith and forget Thy remembrance.

 (The Bab, Selections from the Writings of the Bab, p. 192)

I don't recall seeing this before. I think I know what the benefits of this world are, but what are teh benefits of the next world spoken about?

David
