Meditate on the world and the state of its people. He, for
Whose sake the world was called into being, hath been imprisoned in the most
desolate of cities (Akká), by reason of that which the hands of the wayward
have wrought. From the horizon of His prison-city He summoneth mankind unto the
Dayspring of God, the Exalted, the Great.
(Baha’u’llah,
‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)
