Strive with your heart and soul that the Heavenly Light may
descend upon all people and that through it every heart may be enlightened and
that the spirit of the human race may partake of Its glory. Work and strive
until all regions of the world are bathed in this Light. Fear not when trouble
overtakes you. You will be criticized; you will be persecuted; you will be
cursed and reviled. Recall in those days what I tell you now: Your triumph will be sure; your hearts will
be filled with the Glory of God, for the heavenly power will sustain you, and
God will be with you. This is my message
to you.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, Star of the West, vol. 2, no. 17, January
19, 1912)
