Thou hast asked concerning the station of this servant. The
station of this servant is servitude to the Holy Threshold (Baha’u’llah) and I
glory and honor in this. Abdu’l-Baha is the standard of the divine love, the
sign of the gift of God, the servant of the assemblage of the merciful ones,
the light of the meeting of the spiritual ones. He is the orb of peace and
reconciliation and the light of love in the world of humanity. He is the herald
of the Kingdom of the Merciful One and the promulgator of the religion of
rectitude and security. This is the station of this servant! This is the Truth!
I hope through the divine grace that the brilliancy of the
love of God will pervade all regions, and that he will remove warfare and
strife from the world of existence. Then the human world will become expressive
of the unity of the merciful world, the inferior world will become a clear and
purified mirror reflecting the Supreme Concourse, the East and West will
embrace each other like unto two longing ones and the North and South will shake
hands and clasp each other in the arms like unto two beloved ones. This is the
station of ‘Abdu’l-Baha.
