Discourse by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá given at the Unity Meeting of Misses Jack and Herrick. |

Thank God I see you spiritual and at rest; I
give you this message from God; that you must be
turned toward Him. Praise God that you are near
Him! The unworthy things of this world have not
deterred you from seeking the world of Spirit.
When in harmony with that world, you care not
for the things that perish; your desire is for that
which never dies and the Kingdom lies open
before you. I hope that the teaching of God will
spread throughout the world, and will cause all to
be united.

In the time of Jesus Christ there was an
outpouring of the Light from East to West that
brought the people under a heavenly banner and
illumined them with divine insight. Western
lands have been kindled by the Light of the
Christ. I pray earnestly that the Light in this
advanced age will so illumine the world that all
may rally under the banner of Unity and receive
Spiritual education.

Then those problems which cause difference
49
among the peoples of the earth will be seen no
more, for verily they are not. You are all waves of
one sea, mirrors of one reflection.

This day the countries of Europe are at rest;
Education has become widespread. The light of
liberty is the light of the West, and the intention
of government is to work for truth and justice in
Western countries. But ever the light of
spirituality shines from out of the East. In this age
that light has become dimmed; religion has
become a matter of form and ceremony and the
desire for God’s love has been lost.
