“The West hath acquired
illumination from the East, but, in some respects the reflection of the light
hath been greater in the Occident.” “The East hath, verily, been illumined with
the light of the Kingdom. Erelong will this same light shed a still greater
illumination through the potency of the teachings of God, and their souls be
set aglow by the undying fire of His love.”
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, quoted by Shoghi
Effendi in a letter dated June 5, 1947; ‘Citadel of faith’)
