There lay concealed within the Holy Veil, and prepared for
the service of God, a company of His chosen ones who shall be manifested unto
men, who shall aid His Cause, who shall be afraid of no one, though the entire
human race rise up and war against them. These are the ones who, before the
gaze of the dwellers on earth and the denizens of heaven, shall arise and,
shouting aloud, acclaim the name of the Almighty, and summon the children of
men to the path of God, the All-Glorious, the All-Praised. Walk thou in their
way, and let no one dismay thee. Be of them whom the tumult of the world,
however much it may agitate them in the path of their Creator, can never
sadden, whose purpose the blame of the blamer will never defeat. - Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
