Lake Geneva, Switzerland

[Many people of different nationalities were present.]
O ye who are present!
How long this drowsiness and sleep! How long this ignorance
and blindness! How long this heedlessness and misery! How long this oppression
and injustice! How long this hatred and discord! How long this rage of ignorant
ones! How long this grasping with frail imaginations! How long this strife and
argument! How long this turmoil and these battles! How long these racial
prejudices! How long these patriarchal prejudices! How long these political
prejudices!
Does it not behoove the believers to have their hearts
submissive through the mentioning of God? Has God sealed the hearts and has the
eye become veiled with the clouds of injustice, that the souls are not aware of
God's bounty overflowing unto all?
He has created all with His Power, supplied all with His
Mercy, and trained all with His Divinity. You will not find in the creation of
the Merciful any differences. Then let us follow the glorious Lord in our good
policy; dealing with justice, favor and generosity. Let us leave oppression and
wickedness. Let us be as one family, with justice and kindness. Let us blend as
water and wine. Let us unite as the unity of the souls. We cannot establish a
policy greater than the policy of God. We cannot find anything which is
suitable to the world of humanity greater than the Bounties of God. Then be ye
guided with the examples of the Lord. Do not change the gift of God -which is
perfect unity - in this Path!
It is incumbent upon ye, O servants of God, to abandon this
discord; establish harmony, love, equity, justice and mercy.
O ye who are present: The old centuries have passed and the
carpet of hatred and struggle have rolled up, because this age has shone with
the Luminous Lights, glorious bounties, admirable verses, apparent signs,
lights which are dispersing the darkness - alleviating pain - conductive to
unity and uprooting inharmony. Thus the eyes have seen, the ears have heard,
and the hearts have comprehended.
