From: Counsels and Explanations by 'Abdu'l-Baha -- Daily Readings
Do ye know in what cycle ye are created and in what age ye
exist? This is the age of the Blessed Perfection and this is the time of the
Greatest Name! This is the century of the Manifestation, the age of the Sun of
the Horizons and the beautiful springtime of His Holiness the Eternal One!
The earth is in motion and growth; the mountains, hills and prairies are green
and pleasant; the bounty is overflowing; the mercy universal; the rain is
descending from the cloud of mercy; the brilliant Sun is shining; the full moon
is ornamenting the horizon of ether; the great ocean-tide is flooding every
little stream; the gifts are successive; the favors consecutive; and the
refreshing breeze is blowing, wafting the fragrant perfume of the blossoms.
Boundless treasure is in the hand of the King of Kings! Lift the hem of thy
garment in order to receive it.
If we are not happy and joyous at this season, for what other season shall we
wait and for what other time shall we look?
