I hope that through the bounty and favors of the Most
Glorious Lord, in this new age, the regions of the West become the East of the
Sun of Truth, the believers of God become the dawning-places of lights, the
manifestors of the signs, be protected and guarded from the doubts of the
heedless ones, remain firm and steadfast in the Covenant and Testament, and
strive day and night in order to awaken those who are asleep, to make mindful
those who are heedless, to make confident of the mysteries of the Kingdom those
who are deprived, to confer a share from the never-ending outpouring upon those
who are helpless, to become the heralds of the Kingdom and to call the
inhabitants of this terrestrial world to the Celestial Realm.
- ‘Abdu'l-Baha (Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha vol. 1)
