The “Rays of this Divine Revelation shall make of India a spiritually-quickened, peaceful and united country”

True, that land seems now unhappily to be plunged in the darkness of prejudice, hate and mistrust, yet however dark the immediate prospect may appear, our confidence remains unshaken that ere long these mists shall clear away, the dawn of a New Day shall break upon that land and the Rays of this Divine Revelation shall make of India a spiritually-quickened, peaceful and united country. (Shoghi Effendi, excerpt from a letter dated January 9, 1923 to the Baha’is of India and Burmah; Dawn of a New Day, p.1) (To see the entire letter please visit Messages to the Baha'i World)
