The outpouring of love and esteem for Baha'u'llah witnessed
around the world at His bicentenary has moved us greatly. In settings of all
kinds, from homes to stadiums, His life was celebrated with the utmost devotion
and remarkable creativity. At many a gathering, guests outnumbered the Baha'is
several times over; in some island nations, participation may be measured as a
proportion of all the inhabitants. Truly, we confess our astonishment at the
flood of grace Baha'u'llah has poured forth. And in every precious effort made
to honour Him, we recognize the wholehearted striving of each believer to
attain a full share.
