The people of Bahá must endeavor day and night to promulgate
this lofty purpose. [The fact that the “purpose of the divine Manifestations
has been the education of holy souls.”] They must endeavor and strive
strenuously to educate themselves and other sanctified souls. They must awaken
the peoples and nations of the world and free them from dogmas and imitations.
They must pass beyond the world of names and fix their gaze on realities and
inner meanings.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, November 27, New York,
recorded by Mahmud Zarqani; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
