O thou shining ray! Verily, the ray, being transmitted from
the etheric sphere, rends the space and reaches the surface of the earth and
dispels the gloomy darkness. Verily, be thou one of the rays of the Sun of
Truth and then thou wilt cause the darkness of error to disappear and wilt
change its intense obscurity into a discovering light which will guide (the
people) unto the Kingdom of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of Abdu’l-Baha, vol.
2)
