Behold The Disturbances Which For Many A
Behold the disturbances which, for many a long year, have afflicted the
earth, and the perturbation that hath seized its peoples. It hath either
been ravaged by war, or tormented by sudden and unforeseen calamities.
Though the world is encompassed with misery and distress, yet no man hath
paused to reflect what the cause or source of that may be. Whenever the
True Counsellor uttered a word in admonishment, lo, they all denounced Him
as a mover of mischief and rejected His claim. How bewildering, how
confusing is such behavior! No two men can be found who may be said to be
outwardly and inwardly united. The evidences of discord and malice are
apparent everywhere, though all were made for harmony and union. The Great
Being saith: O well-beloved ones! The tabernacle of unity hath been
raised; regard ye not one another as strangers. Ye are the fruits of one
tree, and the leaves of one branch. We cherish the hope that the light of
justice may shine upon the world and sanctify it from tyranny. If the
rulers and kings of the earth, the symbols of the power of God, exalted be
His glory, arise and resolve to dedicate themselves to whatever will
promote the highest interests of the whole of humanity, the reign of
justice will assuredly be established amongst the children of men, and the
effulgence of its light will envelop the whole earth. The Great Being
saith: The structure of world stability and order hath been reared upon,
and will continue to be sustained by, the twin pillars of reward and
punishment.... In another passage He hath written: Take heed, O concourse
of the rulers of the world! There is no force on earth that can equal in
its conquering power the force of justice and wisdom.... Blessed is the
king who marcheth with the ensign of wisdom unfurled before him, and the
battalions of justice massed in his rear. He verily is the ornament that
adorneth the brow of peace and the countenance of security. There can be
no doubt whatever that if the day star of justice, which the clouds of
tyranny have obscured, were to shed its light upon men, the face of the
earth would be completely transformed.
