We cherish the hope that one of the kings of the earth will,
for the sake of God, arise for the triumph of this wronged, this oppressed
people. Such a king will be eternally extolled and glorified. God hath
prescribed unto this people the duty of aiding whosoever will aid them, of serving
his best interests, and of demonstrating to him their abiding loyalty. They who
follow Me must strive, under all circumstances, to promote the welfare of
whosoever will arise for the triumph of My Cause, and must at all times prove
their devotion and fidelity unto him. Happy is the man that hearkeneth and
observeth My counsel. Woe unto him that faileth to fulfil My wish.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
