'Abdu'l-Bahá has the utmost longing to meet you…and hopes
that during the next Spring no obstacle may arise, so that with infinite joy
and fragrance he may hasten to America to meet the friends, to unfurl the
banner of rejoicing, to spread the Glad-Tidings of the Kingdom of Abhá, to
illumine the meetings and gatherings with the Rays of the Sun of Truth, to
perfume the nostrils with the Fragrances of Holiness, to impart gladness and
delight to the hearts, to attract the souls to the Realms of Might, to grant
the outpouring of the Holy Spirit-so that in this nether world the congregation
of the Righteous Ones may be firmly established.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet;
Star of the West, vol. 2, no, 16, December 31, 1911)
