O thou who art carried away by the love of God! The Sun of
Truth hath risen above the horizon of this world and cast down its beams of
guidance. Eternal grace is never interrupted, and a fruit of that everlasting
grace is universal peace. Rest thou assured that in this era of the spirit, the
Kingdom of Peace will raise up its tabernacle on the summits of the world, and
the commandments of the Prince of Peace will so dominate the arteries and
nerves of every people as to draw into His sheltering shade all the nations on
earth. From springs of love and truth and unity will the true Shepherd give His
sheep to drink.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
