Again I repeat that the future of Canada, whether from a
material or a spiritual standpoint, is very great. Day by day civilization and
freedom shall increase. The clouds of the Kingdom will water the seeds of
guidance which have been sown there. Consequently, rest ye not, seek ye no
composure, attach not yourselves to the luxuries of this ephemeral world, free
yourselves from every attachment, and strive with heart and soul to become
fully established in the Kingdom of God. Gain ye the heavenly treasures. Day by
day become ye more illumined. Draw ye nearer and nearer unto the threshold of
oneness. Become ye the manifestors of spiritual favors and the dawning-places
of infinite lights! If it is possible, send ye teachers to other portions of
Canada; likewise, dispatch ye teachers to Greenland and the home of the
Eskimos.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of the Divine Plan’)
