One of the signs of the maturity of the world is that no one
will accept to bear the weight of kingship. Kingship will remain with none
willing to bear alone its weight. That day will be the day whereon wisdom will
be manifested among mankind. Only in order to proclaim the Cause of God and
spread abroad His Faith will anyone be willing to bear this grievous weight.
Well is it with him who, for love of God and His Cause, and for the sake of God
and for the purpose of proclaiming His Faith, will expose himself unto this
great danger, and will accept this toil and trouble.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by
Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Promised Day is Come’)
