Praise be to God! Today the light of the Word of God shines
upon all horizons. From every nation, tribe and denomination, souls are coming
under the influence of the Word (of God) and have agreed and united with the
utmost concord and harmony. Many an assembly shall be organized whose members
will be representatives of different nations, tribes and peoples. If one attend
such a meeting, he will be surprised and will imagine that those present are of
one birth and nation, one people with the same thoughts and opinions, when, as
a matter of fact, one may be an American, another a European; one from
Hindustan (India) another from Turkestan; one an Arab, another a Tajik; one
Persian, another Greek. Notwithstanding this they consort together with joy and
sing together in the utmost unity, harmony, love and solidarity in liberty and
wisdom. This is through the effect of the Word of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet;
‘Star of the West, vol. 6, no. 9, August 20, 1915)
