Chaos and confusion are daily increasing in the world. They
will attain such intensity as to render the frame of mankind unable to bear
them. Then will men be awakened and become aware that religion is the
impregnable stronghold and the manifest light of the world, and its laws,
exhortations and teachings, the source of life on earth. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, quoted
by the Universal House of Justice in a letter dated 10 February 1980; Messaged
from the Universal House of Justice 1963-1986)
