Continually my ear
and eye are turned toward the Central States [of America]; perchance a melody
from some blessed souls may reach my ears—souls who are the dawning-places of
the love of God, the stars of the horizon of sanctification and holiness—souls
who will illumine this dark universe and quicken to life this dead world. The
joy of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá depends upon this! I hope that you may become confirmed
therein.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of the Divine Plan’)
