Though you
dwell in the West, praise he to God, you have heard the Divine Call from the
East, and like unto Moses you have become warmed by the fire of the Tree that
has been lighted in Asia, and you have found the true Path, becoming kindled
like lamps, having entered into the Kingdom of God. Now in thanksgiving for
this bounty you pray for blessing upon the people of the world, till by light
of the Kingdom of Splendour their eyes become illuminated and their hearts
become even as mirrors attaining the rays of the Sun of Truth.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet to the Baha’is of England, Star of the West, vol. 2, no. 5, June
5, 1911)
