O ye Spiritual
Friends of ‘Abdu’l-Baha!
How long are ye silent and speechless! Although ye are
speaking, yet in this age the speech of the believers of God must be the soul
entrancing melody of the Kingdom of ABHA and the harmony of the Supreme
Concourse! Therefore ‘Abdu’l-Baha is not satisfied with a meek voice and
depressing lamentation! He seeks the passionate tumult and joyous clamor and he
roars and cries at the top of his voice so that the realities of things may
stir into movement and action and the Beloved of Bounty unveil her Countenance
in the world of creation! Those friends must, like unto the stars in heaven,
shine and gleam in the horizon of Truth with the Light of Guidance so that the
realities of the existent beings and the spirit of humankind may find joy and
happiness!
Upon ye be greeting and praise!
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, Star of the West, Vol. 1, No. 5, June 5, 1910)
