In their homes, ... in the daily contact of business
transactions, ... the community of the followers of Bahá'u'lláh should satisfy
themselves that in the eyes of the world at large and in the sight of their
vigilant Master they are the living witnesses of those truths which He fondly
cherished and tirelessly championed to the very end of His days....
