…in the general world, when mankind accomplished physical
development, traveled through the grades of civilization and attained the human
wonders, virtues and endowments in their most consummate form, it attained
capacity for the appearance and extension of the spiritual divine perfections
and obtained worthiness for hearing the divine summons.Then the ensign of the Kingdom was raised, spiritual virtues and perfections became manifest, the sun of reality arose, the light of the "Most Great Peace" dawned, the solidarity of the human world was realized. We hope that the radiation of these lights may, day by day, become intensified and these ideal virtues magnified. Thus may the great achievement of the human world become evident and manifest, and the beloved of the love of God may become with the utmost sweetness and beauty the representatives of the (heavenly) assemblage.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet; Star of the West, vol. 6,
no. 9, August 20, 1915)
