Do ye know in what cycle ye are created and in what age ye
exist? This is the age of the Blessed Perfection and this is the time of the
Greatest Name! This is the century of the Manifestation, the age of the Sun of
the Horizons and the beautiful springtime of His Holiness the Eternal One!
The earth is in motion and growth; the mountains, hills and
prairies are green and pleasant; the bounty is overflowing; the mercy
universal; the rain is descending from the cloud of mercy; the brilliant Sun is
shining; the full moon is ornamenting the horizon of ether; the great
ocean-tide is flooding every little stream; the gifts are successive; the
favors consecutive; and the refreshing breeze is blowing, wafting the fragrant
perfume of the blossoms. Boundless treasure is in the hand of the King of
Kings! Lift the hem of thy garment in order to receive it.
If we are not happy and joyous at this season, for what
other season shall we wait and for what other time shall we look? (‘Abdu’l-Baha,
‘Baha’i World Faith)
