The day of the Manifestation of God is the divine and
spiritual springtime when the trees of human souls become green and
flourishing, new beauty and freshness are brought to the gardens of the hearts
and new inspiration and fresh bounties are bestowed.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Words of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, November 15, New York, recorded by Mahmud Zarqani; ‘Mahmud’s
Diary’)
