In this wondrous
Age, at this time when the Ancient Beauty, the Most Great Name, bearing
unnumbered gifts, hath risen above the horizon of the world, the Word of God
hath infused such awesome power into the inmost essence of humankind that He
hath stripped men’s human qualities of all effect, and hath, with His
all-conquering might, unified the peoples in a vast sea of oneness.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Cited by the Universal House of Justice in a letter dated 154 B.E. addressed to
the Iranian believers throughout the world)
