Soon will your swiftly-passing days be over, and the fame and riches, the comforts, the joys provided by this rubbish-heap, the world, will be gone without a trace. Summon ye, then, the people to God, and invite humanity to follow the example of the Company on high. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
