O ye Cohorts of God! Today in the present world each
community is wandering in a wilderness, moving in accord with some passion and
desire, and running to and fro in pursuance of his own imagination. Among the
communities of the world, this community of the “Most Great Name” is free from
every thought, keeping aloof from every project and scheme, arising with the
purest designs and intentions, and striving and endeavoring with the utmost
hope to live in accordance with the divine teachings in order that the surface
of the earth become the delectable paradise, the nether world become the mirror
of the Kingdom, the universe become another universe, and the human race attain
to higher morals, conduct and manners.
- ‘Abdu'l-Baha (Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha
vol. 1)
