Praise be to God, that the hosts of the Most Glorious
Kingdom are coming together in large numbers and the Stars of the Highest
Horizon are in uprising and ascension! The Banner of Guidance is in motion, the
Cloud of Bounty is descending in a shower, and the Luminary of the Horizon of
Significance is shining! The Feast and the enjoyment of the Kingdom are in
complete harmony, and the Dawn of Favor is breaking with the Light of Guidance!
It is the Melody of the Kingdom of Abha which is descending from the Supreme
Concourse, saying:
O dead one, who art without heart and soul! Become alive!
Become alive!
O sleeping one, in the water and clay! Be awake! Be awake!
O intoxicated one, who art witless and gone astray! Become
sensible! Become sensible!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet; Star of the West, vol.
4, no. 4, May 17, 1913)
