- to spread the fragrances of Paradise,
- to raise the eternal melody of the Kingdom of Abha,
- to establish the gathering of fellowship,
- to become assisted with the confirmations of the Holy Spirit;
- to clothe the temple of existence with a new garment;
- to bestow eternal life upon the reality of souls;
- to become a cause of the civilization of the human world;
- to characterize the bloodthirsty animals with the heavenly attributes and divine commemorations;
- to pacify the world with peace and salvation, and
- to adorn man with the favors of His Highness the Merciful One;
that perchance ignorance, animosity and strangeness may be removed entirely from among the denizens of the world, and the Banner of Reconciliation, Freedom, Nobleness and Oneness be hoisted; for the chains of existence contain countless links, each connected with the other. This connection is the cause of the appearance of the invisible powers of the world of the visible.
- ‘Abdu'l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu'l-Baha’ volume 3)
