...Today, the most important affair and greatest hope
is the unity and concord of the Friends. In every city where the Friends are
united, spirituality and illumination is manifest and apparent with infinite
power and strength; but where there is a lack of the warmth of love, every one
becomes withered, cold, unhappy and deprived. Therefore, endeavor ye with all
your heart and soul so that union and concord may be increased, the Word of God
promoted and the lights of unity be spread. Convey on behalf of ‘Abdu’l-Baha the
wonderful Abha Greeting to all the Friends of that Spiritual Assembly.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha,
extract from a Tablet, Star of the West, vol. 1, no. 10, September 8, 1910)
