…rest ye
assured in the confirmations of the Merciful and the assistance of the Most
High; become ye sanctified above and purified from this world and the
inhabitants thereof; suffer your intentions to work for the good of all; cut
your attachment to the earth and like unto the essence of the spirit become ye
light and delicate. Then with a firm resolution, a pure heart, a rejoiced
spirit, and an eloquent tongue, engage your time in the promulgation of the
divine principles so that the oneness of the world of humanity may pitch her
canopy in the apex of America and all the nations of the world may follow the
divine policy.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of the Divine Plan’)
