The Master described for the friends His journey to
California and His talks at the university and at gatherings in San Francisco.
He said:
"As they were delivered in scientific terms and with rational
arguments, none could deny them and not a single voice was raised in
opposition. In fact, in the gatherings like that at the university where one
hundred and eighty professors and teachers and eighteen hundred students were
present together with other notable people, if one had spoken using religious
terminology and expressing religious opinions and imitations which are wholly
contrary to science and reason, none would have paid any attention; rather,
they would have scorned and mocked us."
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha,
November 13, New York, recorded by Mahmud Zarqani; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
