…it is my hope that day by day you will become more and more
effulgent in the horizon of heaven, advance nearer and nearer toward the
Kingdom of Abhá, attain greater and greater bounties of the Blessed Perfection.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, 17 April 1912, New York; ‘The Promulgation of
Universal Peace: Talks Delivered by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá during His Visit to the United
States and Canada in 1912’)
