Baha’u’llah and the New Era

CHAPTER 14: 'ABDU'L-BAHA
25/33

Modern universal movements will do their utmost to carry out their purpose and intentions.

The Movement of the Left will acquire great importance, and its influence will spread.
Wherefore, endeavor that with an illumined heart, a heavenly spirit, and a divine strength, and aided by His grace, ye may bestow God's bountiful gift upon the world ...

the gift of comfort and tranquillity for all mankind.
In a talk given in November 1919, He said:-- Baha'u'llah frequently predicted that there would be a period when irreligion and consequent anarchy would prevail.

The chaos will be due to too great liberty among people who are not ready for it, and in consequence there will have to be a temporary reversion to coercive government, in the interests of the people themselves and in order to prevent disorder and chaos.

It is clear that each nation now wishes complete self-determination and freedom of action, but some of them are not ready for it.
