The lights of the divine traces are manifest in Palestine.
The majority of the Israelitish Prophets raised the call of the Kingdom of God
in this holy ground. Having spread the spiritual teachings, the nostrils of the
spiritually-minded ones became fragrant, the eyes of the illumined souls became
brightened, the ears were thrilled through this song, the hearts obtained
eternal life from the soul-refreshing breeze of the Kingdom of God and gained supreme
illumination from the splendor of the Sun of Reality. Then from this region the
light was spread to Europe, America, Asia, Africa and Australia.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of the Divine Plan’)
