Thou hast asked concerning the station of this servant. The
station of this servant is servitude to the Holy Threshold (Baha’u’llah) and I
glory and honor in this. ‘Abdu’l-Baha is the standard of the divine love, the
sign of the gift of God, the servant of the assemblage of the merciful ones,
the light of the meeting of the spiritual ones. He is the orb of peace and
reconciliation and the light of love in the world of humanity. He is the herald
of the Kingdom of the Merciful One and the promulgator of the religion of
rectitude and security. This is the station of this servant! This is the Truth!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1')
