“This is the Day whereon the unseen world crieth out, ‘Great
is thy blessedness, O earth, for thou hast been made the footstool of thy God,
and been chosen as the seat of His mighty throne.’” “Say, O men! This is a
matchless Day. Matchless must, likewise, be the tongue that celebrateth the
praise of the Desire of all nations, and matchless the deed that aspireth to be
acceptable in His sight. The whole human race hath longed for this Day, that
perchance it may fulfill that which well beseemeth its station and is worthy of
its destiny.”
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of Divine
Justice’)
