Now must those elected representatives [members of Spiritual
Assembly] arise to serve with spirituality and joy, with purity of intent, with
strong attraction to the fragrances of the Almighty, and well supported by the
Holy Spirit. Let them raise up the banner of guidance, and as soldiers of the
Company on high, let them exalt God’s Word, spread abroad His sweet savours,
educate the souls of men, and promote the Most Great Peace.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha,
