The essence of Baha'u'llah's Teaching is all- embracing love, for love includeth every excellence of humankind. It causeth every soul to go forward. It bestoweth on each one, for a heritage, immortal life. Erelong shalt thou bear witness that His celestial Teachings, the very glory of reality itself, shall light up the skies of the world. (66:3) The brief prayer which thou didst write at the close of thy letter was indeed original, touching and beautiful. Recite thou this prayer at all times. (66:4) 32. O ye handmaids of the Lord! In this century-- the century of the Almighty Lord-- the Day- Star of the Realms above, the Light of Truth, shineth in its meridian splendour and its rays illuminate all regions. For this is the age of the Ancient Beauty, the day of the revelation of the might and power of the Most Great Name-- may my life be offered up as a sacrifice for His loved ones.
(66:5)
