I hope that the believers of God may become the cause of the
unity and agreement of the human realm, and suffer other nations and
communities of the world to enter under the shade of the Canopy of Oneness.
Now, when the news reacheth me that the slightest differences have crept in
among the believers of God, I become sad and heartbroken….Afflictions and
hardships, ordeals or trials, do not make me weak or faint, nor do they in the
slightest degree make me sad or unhappy.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
