It is very acceptable and seasonable that thou hast taken
this voyage. The Apostles of His Holiness Christ were always travelling and
calling the people to the Kingdom of God. Consequently, walk thou in their
footsteps. Travel thou to every country and under all circumstances raise the
Call of the Kingdom of God. Mankind, like unto children, are satisfied with
water and clay, and love to play with their play-things. Their ambitions are
very inferior. Praise be to God! that thou hast a lofty ambition; therefore
arise in calling the people to the Kingdom of God.
This Call shall fill the Fast and the West, and will
continue throughout all ages and cycles. It is endless. That is why in this
day, the wise and perceiving souls exalt the ideal and engage in heralding the
Kingdom of God!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Star of the West, vol. 5, no. 1, March 21, 1914)
