“The
Book of God is wide open, and His Word is summoning mankind unto Him.” In such
exhilarating terms does the Supreme Pen describe the advent of the day of union
and ingathering. Bahá’u’lláh continues: “Incline your ears, O friends of God,
to the voice of Him Whom the world hath wronged, and hold fast unto whatsoever
will exalt His Cause.” He further exhorts His followers: “With the utmost
friendliness and in a spirit of perfect fellowship take ye counsel together,
and dedicate the precious days of your lives to the betterment of the world and
the promotion of the Cause of Him Who is the Ancient and Sovereign Lord of
all.”
