O thou who art carried away by the love of God!
The Sun of Truth hath risen above the horizon of this
world and cast down its beams of guidance. Eternal grace
is never interrupted, and a fruit of that everlasting grace is
universal peace. Rest thou assured that in this era of the
spirit, the Kingdom of Peace will raise up its tabernacle on
the summits of the world, and the commandments of the
Prince of Peace will so dominate the arteries and nerves of
every people as to draw into His sheltering shade all the
nations on earth. From springs of love and truth and unity
will the true Shepherd give His sheep to drink.
O handmaid of God, peace must first be established
among individuals, until it leadeth in the end to peace
among nations. Wherefore, O ye Bahá'ís, strive ye with all
your might to create, through the power of the Word of
God, genuine love, spiritual communion and durable bonds
among individuals. This is your task.
