Chaos
and confusion are daily increasing in the world. They will attain such
intensity as to render the frame of mankind unable to bear them. Then will men
be awakened and become aware that religion is the impregnable stronghold and
the manifest light of the world, and its laws, exhortations and teachings the
source of life on earth.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by the Universal House of Justice
in a message dated 10 February 1980 addressed to the Iranian believers resident
in other countries throughout the world)
