O maid-servant of God! Opposition shall surely pass away,
the dark clouds in all regions will be dispelled and the lights of the Covenant
shall shine forth. At that time your value shall appear among the nations of
the world and tribes and people will arise to praise you. Take warning by the
former cycles and the bygone Manifestations.
O maid-servant of God! Verily the Cause is great and great!
Regiments and regiments enter therein! Some people must necessarily turn their
backs upon it, on account of their lack of sincerity in the Cause of God and
for their selfishness and egotism.
O maid-servant of God! A pure sea doth not accept a dead
body, therefore the waves will necessarily throw the dead finally upon the
shores.
O maid-servant of God! When some souls turn away from the
love of God, there is no harm therein. Did not Judas Iscariot, the chief of the
apostles, turn away on account of jealousy for Peter the apostle? Likewise,
some people must necessarily turn away on account of jealousy for others.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2)
