This divine springtime is experienced in the effect the Revelation of God -Baha'u'llah's appearance and teachings - has on the personal life of the believer, and in the effect this experience has, in turn, on the world around us. 'Abdu'l-Baha explains: (139:4) If you abide by the precepts and teachings of the Blessed Perfection [Baha'u'llah], the heavenly world and ancient Kingdom will be yours - eternal happiness, love and everlasting life. The divine bounties are flowing. Each one of you has been given the opportunity of becoming a tree yielding abundant fruits. This is the springtime of Baha'u'llah. The verdure and foliage of spiritual growth are appearing in great abundance in the gardens of human hearts. (Promulgation 9, clarification added)
(139:5)
