The purpose of the coming of the Manifestation of the Mount
is the unification of the world of humanity. Therefore, the friends of God and
the daughters of the Kingdom must serve this purpose and become the cause of
joy to the heart of Abdul-Baha. Thus can they bring together under the
protection of the Tent of Oneness the other nations and peoples; make this
gloomy world radiant, this mundane earth a plane of the Kingdom, and the
material world the manifestation of divine signs.
O ye friends and daughters of the Kingdom and leaves of the
Blessed Tree! Endeavor to make that continent the Paradise of Abha, and the
West the East of Lights. This is the hope of Abdul-Baha.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha ('Tablets
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2')
