That which is the most important of all the affairs in this day is to teach the Cause of God! You must engage in the diffusion of the fragrances of God, so that ye may impart life to the worlds, illumine the dark regions, confer new existence upon these mouldering, dead bodies, make intelligent and mindful these negligent hearts. Thus may they free themselves from this nether world and soar toward the Universe of the Almighty!
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet; Star of the West, vol. 4, no. 15, December 12, 1913)
