Love is the cause of the civilization of nations in this mortal world! (526:3) Love is the highest honor to every righteous nation! (526:4) The people who are confirmed therein are indeed glorified by the Supreme Concourse, the angels of heaven and the dwellers of the Kingdom of El-ABHA But if the hearts of the people become devoid of the Divine Grace-- the Love of God-- they wander in the desert of ignorance, descend to the depths of ruin and fall to the abyss of despair where there is no refuge They are like insects living in the lowest plane (526:5) O beloved of God! Be ye the manifestations of God and the lamps of guidance throughout all regions shining with the light of love and union! (526:6) How beautiful the effulgence of this light! (526:7) O my friend! Let this letter be spread among the beloved in America, that they may agree, unite and love one another; nay, rather that they should love all the people, and (be willing to) sacrifice even their lives for one another. (526:8) This is the Path of El-Baha! |
