…let us scatter over every people the treasured gems of the
recognition of God, and with the decisive blade of the tongue, and the sure
arrows of knowledge, let us defeat the hosts of self and passion, and hasten
onward to the site of martyrdom, to the place where we die for the Lord. And
then, with flying flags, and to the beat of drums, let us pass into the realm
of the All-Glorious, and join the Company on high.
Well is it with the doers of great deeds.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
