And the honor and distinction of the individual consist in
this, that he among all the world's multitudes should become a source of social
good. Is any larger bounty conceivable than this, that an individual, looking within
himself, should find that by the confirming grace of God he has become the
cause of peace and well-being, of happiness and advantage to his fellow men?
No, by the one true God, there is no greater bliss, no more complete delight.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘The Secret of Divine Civilization’)
