'abdu'l-baha In London
Someone asked if the Humanitarian Society was good.--Yes all societies, all
organizations, working for the betterment of the human race are good, very
good. All who work for their brothers and sisters have Baha'u'llah's
blessing. They will surely succeed.
'Abdu'l-Baha said: It makes me happy to see all the believers in London.
You are all, of every race and creed, members of one family. The teaching
of Ba
a'u'llah constrains you to realize your brotherhood to one another.
Man's Comprehension of God and of Higher Worlds
To man, the Essence of God is incomprehensible, so also are the worlds
beyond this, and their condition. It is given to man to obtain knowledge,
to attain to great spiritual perfection, to discover hidden truths and to
manifest even the attributes of God; but still man cannot comprehend the
Essence of God. Where the ever-widening circle of man's knowledge meets
the spiritual world a Manifestation of God is sent to mirror forth His
splendour.
