O loved ones of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá! Praise be to God! The
fragrances of holiness are spread abroad. The pearls of bounty are scattered
everywhere. The light of guidance is resplendent. The morning-star of the
Concourse on High ascendeth. The cloud of mercy raineth down. The sun of
bestowal blazeth and dazzleth. The wind of providence bloweth, and the
fragrances of the Abhá Paradise nourish souls in the North and South. The East
is illumined, and the West scented with roses. The world is perfumed with musk.
Blessed is he who hath illumined his eyes by beholding these splendours and
whose soul hath become a garden through inhaling this musk-scented breeze. - ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet; ‘Additional Tablets, Extracts and Talks”; Online
Baha’i Reference Library, Baha’i World Centre)
