The tremendous forces latent in the inmost reality of this
precious Faith exert daily a fresh influence in the contingent world and shine
forth with greater intensity. Through the outpourings of Bahá’u’lláh’s
bounties, and as a result of dictates of the time as well as the mighty efforts
exerted by the followers of His Beauty, the Faith’s life-giving Teachings are
taking root in the world of being, increasing its prestige and manifesting
evermore its power to solve the problems confronting humanity. The blessed
Divine Tree, we must know, is firmly rooted in the ground, while its branches
and offshoots are growing heavenward. All this has been possible through the
interaction and cooperation of two mighty, dominant forces which, in compliance
with God’s Will, are at work simultaneously, enabling the blessed Tree to grow,
put forth its leaves and blossoms and, at the appointed time, offer to humankind
its choicest fruits.

March 154 B.E. addressed to the Iranian believers throughout the World)
