You are very welcome! From Eastern lands I have come to the
West to sojourn awhile among you. In the East it is often said that the people
of the West are without spirituality, but I have not found it thus. Thank God,
I see and feel that there is much spiritual aspiration among the Western
peoples, and that in some cases their spiritual perception is even keener than
among their Eastern brothers. If the teaching given in the East had been
conscientiously spread in the West the world today would be a more enlightened
place.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, Paris, November 5, 1911, ‘Paris Talks’)
