Wherefore, O ye illumined youth, strive by night and by day
to unravel the mysteries of the mind and spirit, and to grasp the secrets of
the Day of God. Inform yourselves of the evidences that the Most Great Name
hath dawned. Open your lips in praise. Adduce convincing arguments and proofs.
Lead those who thirst to the fountain of life; grant ye true health to the
ailing. Be ye apprentices of God; be ye physicians directed by God, and heal ye
the sick among humankind. Bring those who have been excluded into the circle of
intimate friends. Make the despairing to be filled with hope. Waken them that slumber;
make the heedless mindful.
Such are the fruits of this earthly life. Such is the
station of resplendent glory. Upon you be Baha'u'l-Abha.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (The Compilation of Compilations, Vol. II,
Youth)
