O ye friends of God! Appreciate the value of this precious
Revelation, move and act in accordance with it and walk in the straight path
and the right way. Show it to the people. Raise the melody of the Kingdom and
spread abroad the teachings and ordinances of the loving Lord so that the world
may become another world, the darkened earth may become illumined and the dead
body of the people may obtain new life. Every soul may seek everlasting life
through the breath of the Merciful. Life in this mortal world will quickly come
to an end, and this earthly glory, wealth, comfort and happiness will soon
vanish and be no more. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Baha’i World Faith)
