O loved ones of God! Now is the time to be drunk with the
cup of the Covenant. Rend your garments in love for the beauty of the
All-Merciful. In the banquet of the Covenant seize ye the chalice of divine
knowledge. Drunk and yearning, raise up a song of the purity and sanctity of
the Living, the Almighty God, till East and West are bewitched, and North and
South set ablaze.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, New resources available at
