…know that in every meeting where there is love, that
meeting is the meeting of the Merciful One; and wherever there is hatred, that
is satanic suggestion. The Divine Prophets appeared that the souls may become
manifestations of the Merciful One, and to establish love and affection in the
hearts.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (from a talk given at the Universalist Church in
Washington DC, April 21, 1912; Star of the West, vol.19, no. 3, June 1928)
