I declare by the Blessed Perfection [Bahá'u'lláh] - May my
life be a sacrifice to His believers-that if the believers arise to act
according to the good-pleasure of the Blessed Perfection, the lights will be
revealed, the mysteries discovered, the veils rent asunder, the darkness
dispelled, the verses of unity chanted, and the melodies of the spiritual music
of the Glorious Lord sung!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, Star of the West, vol. 5, no. 1, March
