O thou lamp ignited by the fire of the Love of God!
I ask God to make thee a sign of love, standard of
agreement, means of union and harmony and spreader of peace among the people.
O maid-servant of God! Strive with all thy powers in
diffusing the spirit of real union among the people, so that all who are on
earth become one family, loving, united, agreed, bound by the bonds of love and
united with all harmony in all things and conditions; this is the greater
happiness of the human race in the world of possibilities and the cause of
attaining to all hopes and reaching unto the Supreme Kingdom, after ascending
unto the world of God.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1’)
