His highness Jesus
says if the Promised One manifests in the East, his signs will appear in the West.
Now give thanks to God that as the Great Sun arose in the East, his Brilliant
Light shone upon the West and brightened the western world. Therefore you must give a thousand thanks
every moment that though you were apparently very far off, in reality you were
near…. Appreciate this Bounty,
be happy and joyful for this Divine boundless Bounty. - ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, Star of the
West, vol. 2, no. 13, November 4, 1911)
