Walk, therefore,
with a sure step and engage with the utmost assurance and confidence in the
promulgation of the divine fragrances, the glorification of the Word of God and
firmness in the Covenant. Rest ye assured that if a soul ariseth in the utmost
perseverance and raiseth the Call of the Kingdom and resolutely promulgateth
the Covenant, be he an insignificant ant he shall be enabled to drive away the
formidable elephant from the arena, and if he be a feeble moth he shall cut to
pieces the plumage of the rapacious vulture.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá’; The
Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, The Covenant)
