Convey the greetings of this imprisoned one to the beloved
of God in the spiritual assembly of Kenosha. Say unto them: “The Cause is
Great! Great! and the Kingdom of the Majestic Lord overshadoweth heaven and
earth. Your spiritual assembly should be a source of joy to the world of
humanity and be so illumined with light as to dispel the darkened horizons,
withstand the power of tests, remain firm and constant, be not disturbed by
ordeals and feel no difficulty in spreading the light of guidance. If ye attain
this attitude of firmness, the confirmation of the Divine will verily penetrate
the world through your meeting. But this requires disinterestedness in worldly
things and devotion to the Kingdom of ABHA, perseverance and effort are
requisites and firmness is a necessity. I beg God to illumine the faces of each
of you so that they may shine as stars in the high firmament.”
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1’)
