…when hatred and animosity, fighting, slaughtering, and
great coldness of heart were governing this world, and darkness had overcome
the nations, Bahá’u’lláh, like a bright star, rose from the horizon of Persia
and shone with the great Light of Guidance, giving heavenly radiance and
establishing the new Teaching.
He declared the most human virtues; He manifested the
Spiritual powers, and put them into practice in the world around Him.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, September 30th, 1911, London; ‘Abdu’l-Baha in London’)
