O thou who art sincere in the Cause of God, looking unto the
Kingdom of God and uttering the praise of God! — thank thou Him for that by
reason of which He hath made thee wholly faithful in His Cause, kindled thy
heart with the fire of the Testament, illumined thy mind with the light and
conveyed unto thy spirit the glad-tidings of the breaths of the Holy Spirit in
the world of effulgence. Therefore, roll up thy sleeves to serve the Covenant,
make the hearts firm in the Covenant of the beloved Lord, create harmony and
agreement among the believers and impart to them the glad-tidings of the
confirmation which they will receive from God if the differences of opinion be
removed and if they unite and agree, be firm in spreading the fragrance of God,
divulging the traces and chanting the signs of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
