“Speak thou no word of politics”
Speak thou no word of politics; thy task concerneth the life
of the soul, for this verily leadeth to man's joy in the world of God. Except
to speak well of them, make thou no mention of the earth's kings, and the
worldly governments thereof. Rather, confine thine utterance to spreading the
blissful tidings of the Kingdom of God, and demonstrating the influence of the
Word of God, and the holiness of the Cause of God. Tell thou of abiding joy and
spiritual delights, and godlike qualities, and of how the Sun of Truth hath
risen above the earth's horizons; tell of the blowing of the spirit of life
into the body of the world. - ‘Abdu'l-Baha
(Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu'l-Baha)
