How
often the beloved Master was heard to say, should each one of the friends take
upon himself to carry out, in all its integrity and implications, only one of
the teachings of the Faith, with devotion, detachment, constancy and
perseverance and exemplify it in all his deeds and pursuits of life, the world
would become another world and the face of the earth would mirror forth the
splendours of the Abha Paradise. Consider what marvellous changes would be
effected if the beloved of the Merciful conducted themselves, both in their
individual and collective capacities, in accordance with the counsels and
exhortations which have streamed from the Pen of Glory.
