And finally, is this most stirring passage which He[‘Abdu’l-Baha], in one of His moments of exultation, was moved to address to one of His most trusted and eminent followers in the earliest days of His ministry: “What more shall I say? What else can my pen recount? So loud is the call that reverberates from the Abhá Kingdom that mortal ears are well-nigh deafened with its vibrations. The whole creation, methinks, is being disrupted and is bursting asunder through the shattering influence of the Divine summons issued from the throne of glory. More than this I cannot write.” (Shoghi Effendi, letter dated February 8, 1934; ‘The Dispensation of Baha’u’llah’)
