How vast is the tabernacle of the Cause of God! It hath
overshadowed all the peoples and kindreds of the earth, and will, ere long,
gather together the whole of mankind beneath its shelter. Thy day of service is
now come… Arise for the triumph of My Cause, and, through the power of thine
utterance, subdue the hearts of men. Thou must show forth that which will
ensure the peace and the well-being of the miserable and the downtrodden. Gird
up the loins of thine endeavour, that perchance thou mayest release the captive
from his chains, and enable him to attain unto true liberty.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
