…O ye friends of God and maidservants of the Merciful! The
hand of divine bounty hath placed upon your heads a jewelled crown, the
precious gems of which shall shine eternally over all regions. Appreciate this
bounty, loose your tongues in praise and thanksgiving, and engage in the
promulgation of the divine teachings, for this is the spirit of life and the
means of salvation.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of
‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
