In this
enlightened age everything has been renewed -- sciences have been renewed, new
arts have come into being, new skills have appeared, new thoughts have been
expressed, new inventions have come to light and new discoveries have been
made. In reality, the world of being has become a new world. Thus, the
principles of religion also must be renewed.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, October 4, 1912, San Francisco, USA, recorded by
Mahmud Zarqani; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
