In speaking of spreading the fragrances of the Kingdom, 'Abdu'l-Baha said:
"In movement there is life; in immobility there is
death. The traveling of the teachers from place to place, country to country,
and from the Occident to the Orient, is one of the greatest means for sowing
spiritual seeds in the souls of the people."
