Today, every wise, vigilant and foresighted person is
awakened, and to him are unveiled the mysteries of the future which show that
nothing save the power of the Covenant is able to stir and move the heart of
humanity, just as the New and Old Testaments propounded throughout all regions
the Cause of Christ and were the pulsating power in the body of the human
world. A tree that hath a root shall bear fruit, while the tree that hath none,
no matter how high and hardy it may be, will eventually wither, perish and
become but a log fit for the fire.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
