This century is the century of the oneness of the world of humanity, the century of justice; this century is the century of universal peace, the century of the dawn of the sun of reality; this century is the century of the establishment of the kingdom of God upon this earth; therefore let us grasp every means to promote the federation of the world, that we may become the recipients of the divine outpourings. (172:1) Today we observe that various means of unity are being brought forward and this in itself is an evidence that the divine confirmations surround us. (172:2) One sign of unity is the construction of an international auxiliary language, Esperanto. (172:3) Let us strive untiringly to spread this language. (172:4) I am most pleased with you and am very grateful to find myself in such a revered gathering. I shall remember your spiritual susceptibilities and pray that they may be directed toward the highest, that your love for your Lord and your attraction toward him may increase day unto day. I hope that this revered society may become conducive to the illumination of the city of Paris, in order that the blind may receive sight; the deaf hearing; the dumb the power of speech; and that into these dead bodies the spirit of life may be infused. Then this Paris will become another Paris and this world another world.
(172:5)
