The earth is in motion and growth; the mountains, hills and
prairies are green and pleasant; the bounty is overflowing; the mercy
universal; the rain is descending from the cloud of mercy; the brilliant Sun is
shining; the full moon is ornamenting the horizon of ether; The great
ocean-tide is flooding every little stream; the gifts are successive; the
favours consecutive; and the refreshing breeze is blowing, wafting the fragrant
perfume of the blossoms. Boundless treasure is in the hand of the King of
Kings! Lift the hem of thy garment in order to receive it.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (The Compilation of
Compilations, vol. 1, Conservation of the Earth's Resources)
