The dawn of the Sun of Reality is assuredly for the illumination
of the world and for the manifestation of mercy. In the assemblage of the
family of Adam results and fruits are praiseworthy, and the holy bestowals of
every bounty are abundant. It is an absolute mercy and a complete bounty, the
illumination of the world, fellowship and harmony, love and union; nay, rather,
mercifulness and oneness, the elimination of discord and the unity of whosoever
are on the earth in the utmost of freedom and dignity.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Baha’i
World Faith’)
