Outside the Church, Salvationists were holding their meeting and 'Abdu'l- Baha was deeply impressed and touched at the sight of the men, women and children gathered together in the night, at the street corner, praying and singing. (5:1)

St John Westminster Address-
Discourse of 'Abdu'l- Baha at St. John's, Westminster. September 17th, 1911.
O NOBLE Friends! O Seekers for the Kingdom of God! Man all over the world is seeking for God. All that exists is God; but the Reality of Divinity is holy above all understanding. (5:2)

The pictures of Divinity that come to our mind are the product of our fancy; they exist in the realm of our imagination. They are not adequate to the Truth; truth in its essence cannot be put into words. (5:3)

Divinity cannot by comprehended because it is comprehending. (5:4)

Man, who has also a real existence, is comprehended by God; therefore, the Divinity which man can understand is partial; it is not complete. Divinity is actual Truth and real existence, and not any representation of it. Divinity itself contains All, and is not contained. (5:5)

Although the mineral, vegetable, animal and man all have actual being, yet the mineral has no knowledge of the vegetable. It cannot apprehend it. It cannot imagine nor understand it. (5:6)
