Beloved friends,
Praise be to the Almighty that you have gathered in that
beautiful spot in a spirit of love and harmony for the purpose of strengthening
the bonds of unity between yourselves and among all men.
The All-Wise Creator of earth and heaven has from the
beginning which has no beginning sent to His peoples Divine Messengers to guide
them to the Straight Path. These Wise Ones have come to establish the unity of
the Kingdom in human hearts. This great evolutionary process of building the
organic unity of the human race has entered a new stage with this mighty
message of Bahá'u'lláh. His voice is the voice of the Great Spirit. His love
for humankind is the force of the New Age.
He who sends the rain, who causes the sun and the stars to
shine, the rivers to flow, the winds to blow and the earth to give forth her
bounties has in this Great Day sent to all mankind Bahá'u'lláh. It is this
Great One who has opened the door of divine knowledge to every soul. It is His
teachings that will establish world unity and bring about universal peace.
