Let us, with a pure heart, with
humility and earnestness, turn afresh to His counsels and exhortations, and
seek from that Source of Celestial Potency all the guidance, the spirit, the
power which we shall need for the fulfillment of our mission in this life.
Behold, the station to which
‘Abdu’l-Bahá is now calling His loved ones from the Realm of Glory:—
“It behooveth the loved ones of God to
be enamored of one another and to sacrifice themselves for their fellow-workers
in the Cause. They should yearn towards one another even as the sore athirst
yearneth for the Water of Life, and the lover burneth to meet his heart’s
desire.”
Such is the sublime, the glorious
position He wishes us, and all the peoples and kindreds on earth, to attain in
this world; how much more to achieve unity and common understanding among
ourselves, and then arise to herald with one voice the coming of the Kingdom
and the salvation of mankind.
(Excerpt from a letter written by Shoghi Effendi,
dated March 12, 1923, to the Baha’is; 'Baha’i Administration')
