Now the
friends and the maid-servants in America have written innumerable letters and
all of them are pleading that 'Abdu'l-Bahá make a trip to that country. Their
supplications and entreaties are insistent. In view of the differences among
the friends and the lack of unity among the maid-servants of the Merciful, how
can 'Abdu'l-Bahá hasten to those parts?
Is this possible? No, by God!
If the
friends and the maid-servants of the Merciful long for the visit of
'Abdu'l-Bahá, they must immediately remove from their midst differences of
opinion and be engaged in the practice of infinite love and unity.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, Star of the West, vol. 2, no. 4, May 17, 1911)
