Bahá’u’lláh has drawn the circle of unity, He has made a
design for the uniting of all the peoples, and for the gathering of them all
under the shelter of the tent of universal unity. This is the work of the
Divine Bounty, and we must all strive with heart and soul until we have the
reality of unity in our midst, and as we work, so will strength be given unto
us. Leave all thought of self, and strive only to be obedient and submissive to
the Will of God. In this way only shall we become citizens of the Kingdom of
God, and attain unto life everlasting.
- ‘Abdu'l-Baha (Words of 'Abdu'l-Baha from a talk, October 28,
1911, Paris; ‘Paris Talks’)
