From Hand of the Cause Mr. Faizi....

...Then we come across one sentence which I believe is the most important in the
whole of The Hidden Words. He says,

"Rejoice with the joy of your own heart."

It is  something that we have utterly forgotten. The western world has 
forgotten this for centuries. The art of meditation, the art of  contemplation,
the art of dreaming within oneself, and Bahá'u'lláh wants  us to start doing
this again. First, it means that there is nothing in  world to make you happy,
outside of your own heart. If you possess the  whole world, the treasures of the
world, the pleasures of the world,  they may be momentary pleasures, but they
will be bitter sadness  throughout your life. They will never bring you any
happiness. People  are wrong to change the places of their entertainment and
enjoyments  from New York to Paris, to Rome, to Africa, to Australia.  They are
searching for it, while they are carrying it along with  themselves. He says,
"Go deep into thy heart." There is a realm in your  heart. There it will spring
up with the water of joy, a constant stream  of joy will be  flowing from your
own heart. Nothing will stop it and nothing will be  able to give it except
yourselves. This is done by spiritual exercise.  'Abdu'l-Bahá tells the story of
one of the prisoner in 'Akká, who had  been with Bahá'u'lláh in the Most Great
Prison. He said that he had a  small rug, a samovar, one cup and a teapot. He
said that every afternoon  he would sprinkle water somewhere and sweep and then
spread this rug,  bring his samovar and let the water boil. He would say,
"Listen to it.  How it boils. It's better than anything, better than anything
else in  the world. The weather is most pleasant. (referring to the weather of 
'Akká, which was the most stinking in the whole world)." Then he would  pour tea
for himself. 'Abdu'l-Bahá said that he held the cup, looked at  its color and
said that never was there any tea as beautiful. Every day  his tea was better
than the previous one. And he would drink it with all  sorts of happiness and
gratitude and  praise to God for one cup of tea, which he had made. And he was
full of  prayer as he was drinking, full of praise, of joy and happiness, 
because it was something springing up from his own soul.
