O maid-servant of God! Know, verily, I was with you in
spirit during your assemblage in the meeting of the commemoration of God, the
House of Agreement, under the Standard of peace, and I perceived ye with my
spirit on the Mount of Salvation and shared with ye in celebrating the praise
of my Lord, and I smiled with all cheerfulness, joy and gladness when I found
that ye were beseeching God and supplicating before the Kingdom of God. I
beseech God to guide some of those who have given themselves to the Word of
God, while they know not the Word. And I beg of God to give insight to every heedless
one, so that he may witness the signs of his Mighty Lord in this great century
wherein the Lord is glorified for the bounties and gifts which He hath bestowed
on all the horizons [i.e., regions] through His Ancient Grace.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2’)
