…the believers of God throughout all the republics of
America, through the divine power, must become the cause of the promotion of
heavenly teachings and the establishment of the oneness of humanity. Every one
of the important souls must arise, blowing over all parts of America the breath
of life, conferring upon the people a new spirit, baptizing them with the fire
of the love of God, the water of life, and the breaths of the Holy Spirit so
that the second birth may become realized. For it is written in the Gospel:
“That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit
is spirit.” (John 3:6)
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of the Divine Plan’)
