Strive… with heart
and soul that ye become ignited candles in the assemblage of the world,
glittering stars on the horizon of Truth and may become the cause of the
propagation of the light of the Kingdom; in order that the world of humanity
may be converted into a divine realm, the nether world may become the world on
high, the love of God and the mercy of the Lord may raise their canopy upon the
apex of the world, human souls may become the waves of the ocean of truth, the
world of humanity may grow into one blessed tree, the verses of oneness may be
chanted and the melodies of sanctity may reach the Supreme Concourse.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
