Verily, `Abdu'l-Bahá inhaleth the fragrance of the
love of God from every meeting-place where the Word of
God is uttered and proofs and arguments set forth that shed
their rays across the world, and where they recount the
tribulations of `Abdu'l-Bahá at the evil hands of those who
have violated the Covenant of God.
O handmaid of the Lord! Speak thou no word of politics;
thy task concerneth the life of the soul, for this verily leadeth
to man's joy in the world of God. Except to speak well of
them, make thou no mention of the earth's kings, and the
worldly governments thereof. Rather, confine thine utterance
to spreading the blissful tidings of the Kingdom of
God, and demonstrating the influence of the Word of God,
and the holiness of the Cause of God. Tell thou of abiding
joy and spiritual delights, and godlike qualities, and of how
the Sun of Truth hath risen above the earth's horizons: tell
of the blowing of the spirit of life into the body of the
world.
Selections from the Writings of `Abdu'l-Bahá
