O Bahá'u'lláh! May I be a sacrifice for Thee. O Bahá'u'lláh!
May my life be offered up for Thee. Thou hast spoken the Word which cannot be
refuted. What a wonderful Cause Thou hast founded! It satisfies every
assemblage! Each group testifies to its greatness. In the churches it shakes
the souls; it excites the Theosophists; it imparts spirituality to the
spiritualists; it makes the Unitarians aware of the reality of unity; it makes
the socialists contented and grateful and inspires joy and happiness in the
peace meetings. There is no refuge for any denomination except in submission to
it. It is a miracle! It is the greatest force in the world of existence. This
is all through the assistance of the Blessed Beauty. If healing the lame and
crippled is a miracle, it can also be produced by a dose of medicine. This is
no great achievement.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha’s words, September 4, 1912, Montreal, Canada; 'Mahmud’s Diary’)
