"The world beyond is as different from this world as..."

"Blessed is the soul which, at the hour of its separation from the body, is sanctified from the vain imaginings of the
peoples of the world. Such a soul liveth and moveth in accordance with the Will of its Creator, and entereth the
all-highest Paradise. The Maids of Heaven, inmates of the loftiest mansions, will circle around it, and the Prophets
of God and His chosen ones will seek its companionship. With them that soul will freely converse, and will recount unto
them that which it hath been made to endure in the path of God, the Lord of all worlds...The world beyond is as different from this world as this world is different from that of the child while still in the womb of its mother."

Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, pp.155–157

"The light which these souls radiate is responsible for the progress of the world..."

"The nature of the soul after death can never be described, nor is it meet and permissible to reveal its whole character to the eyes of men. The Prophets and Messengers of God have been sent down for the sole purpose underlying their revelation hath been to educate all men, that they may, at the hour of death, ascend, in the utmost purity and sanctity and with absolute detachment, to the throne of the Most High. The light which these souls radiate is responsible for the progress of the world and the advancement of its peoples. They are like unto leaven which leaveneth the world of being, and constitute the animating force through which the arts and wonders of the world are made manifest."
