Know thou, verily, The Covenant is an Orb which shines and
gleams forth unto the universe. Verily, its light will dispel darkness, its sea
will cast out the thick froth of suspicions upon the shore of perdition.
Verily, naught in the world can ever resist the Power of the Kingdom. Should
all mankind assemble, could they prevent the sun from its light, the winds from
their blowing, the clouds from their showers, the mountains from their firmness
or the stars from their beaming? No! By thy Lord, the Clement! Everything (in
the world) is subject to corruption; but the Covenant of thy Lord shall
continue to pervade all regions. - ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet; Star of the
West, vol. 4, no. 10, September 8, 1913)
