O People! The Doors of the Kingdom are opened; The Sun of
Truth is shining upon the world; the Fountains of Life are flowing; the
Daysprings of Mercy have appeared; the Greatest and Most Glorious Light is now
manifest to illuminate the hearts of men.
Wake up and hear the
Voice of GOD calling from all parts of the Supreme World -- "Come undo Me,
O ye children of men; come unto Me, O ye who are thirsty, and drink from this
sweet Water which is descending in torrents upon all parts of the globe.”
These days are the days of Faith and Deeds -- not the days
of words and lip service: Let us arise from the sleep of negligence, and
realize what a great feast is prepared for us; first eating thereof ourselves,
then giving unto others who are thirsting for the Water of Knowledge, and
hungering for the Bread of Life.
These Great Days are swiftly passing; and once gone they can
never be recalled. So, while the Rays of the Sun of Truth are still shining and
The Center of The Covenant of GOD is manifest, let us go forth to work.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha ('Star of the West', vol. 5, no.1, March 21,
1914)
