There is no doubt whatsoever
that the divine Beloved, in all His endearing beauty, and with Him a
massive host of heavenly confirmations and human blessings and bestowals,
would appear in His full glory before the assemblage of the world.

Wherefore, O ye beloved of the Lord, bestir yourselves, do all in your
power to be as one, to live in peace, each with the others: for ye are all
the drops from but one ocean, the foliage of one tree, the pearls from a
single shell, the flowers and sweet herbs from the same one garden. And
achieving that, strive ye to unite the hearts of those who follow other
faiths.

For one another must ye give up even life itself. To every human being
must ye be infinitely kind. Call none a stranger; think none to be your
foe. Be ye as if all men were your close kin and honoured friends. Walk ye
in such wise that this fleeting world will change into a splendour and
this dismal heap of dust become a palace of delights. Such is the counsel
of 'Abdu'l-Baha, this hapless servant.

222: O YE HOMELESS AND WANDERERS IN THE PATH OF GOD! ...

O ye homeless and wanderers in the Path of God! Prosperity, contentment,
and freedom, however much desired and conducive to the gladness of the
human heart, can in no wise compare with the trials of homelessness and
adversity in the pathway of God; for such exile and banishment are blessed
by the divine favour, and are surely followed by the mercy of Providence.
The joy of tranquillity in one's home, and the sweetness of freedom from
all cares shall pass away, whilst the blessing of homelessness shall
endure forever, and its far-reaching results shall be made manifest.

Abraham's migration from His native land caused the bountiful gifts of the
All-Glorious to be made manifest, and the setting of Canaan's brightest
star unfolded to the eyes the radiance of Joseph. The flight of Moses, the
Prophet of Sinai, revealed the Flame of the Lord's burning Fire, and the
rise of Jesus breathed the breaths of the Holy Spirit into the world. The
departure of Muhammad, the Beloved of God, from the city of His birth was
the cause of the exaltation of God's Holy Word, and the banishment of the
Sacred Beauty led to the diffusion of the light of His divine Revelation
throughout all regions.

Take ye good heed, O people of insight!
