I am ‘Abdu'l-Baha. The believers must be satisfied with this
explanation so that I may be pleased with them. All of the friends must be
united on this matter. Praise be to God! that up to this time, through the
Favor and Providence of the Blessed Perfection, no other title or word save
"’Abdu’l-Baha" has appeared either from my tongue or pen. I hope that
all the believers will walk in my footsteps so that I may become satisfied with
all of them. Our highest aspiration must be this: that we may become confirmed
to render some slight service in the Path of God. There is no greater station
than this.
