At one time the Master was asked, ‘What shall I say to those who state that they are satisfied with Christianity and do not need this present Manifestation?’ His reply was clear: ‘Let them alone. What would they do if a former king had reigned and a new king was not seated upon the throne? They must acknowledge the new king, or they are not true subjects of the Kingdom. Last year there was a springtime. Can a man say “I do not need a new springtime this year – the old springtime is enough for me”? No! The new spring must come to fill the earth with beauty and brightness.’ (Honnold, Annamarie, Vignettes from the Life of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, p. 120)
