'Abdu'l-Baha
"That which has come forth from the Center of the
Covenant you must take fast hold of. That which issues from my lips and that
which is written with my pen is the Reality. With this you can irrigate the
vineyard of God. With this you can make the tree of the Cause of God become
verdant. Through this the Name of the Kingdom of God will be spread all over
the world. Through this the Sun of Reality will shine. Through this the clouds
of Mercy will pour down."
-‘Abdu’l-Baha
