Today the world of existence is moved
through the Call of the Covenant, and the disjoined members of this earth have
found mutual communication. Consider ye that the confusion produced thereby
cannot be cleared and the forces cannot be brought together save through the
Power of the Testament, and the darkness of the East and the West can only be
dispelled through the Sun of the Covenant. The Divine Covenant is like unto the
spiritual Springtime, which encircles all creation.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, from a
Tablet; Star of the West vol. 1, no. 13, November 4, 1910)
