9 March 1913
During the
public meeting, the major part of ‘Abdu’l Bahá’s talk were prayers for the
inhabitants of Paris and for France.
Furthermore, he said that
his stay here had been the result of contact with personalities and dignitaries
from all over the world (who reside in Paris) and the openness of their eyes to
the beauty of teachings of
Bahá’u’lláh.
After the
meeting, he gathered in his room the Baha’is who had stayed on, and said to
them; “I am going to leave Paris and I wish to leave you here as my trust,
knowing that you are here, my heart will be eased. Strive day and night to illumine this city and render souls
heavenly….Know that if you rise as is needed. the divine confirmations will
arrive like the waves of the sea!
I wish that
there will be much love amongst you and that you will be companions to each
other. Gather together in your
houses…..and guide the souls towards the divine teachings. Be the cause of confirmations of
hearts. That is life and eternal
happiness…
