…its [Mashriqu’l-Adhkar] building is the most important of all things. This is the spiritual foundation, for that reason it is the most important of all foundations; from that spiritual foundation will come forth all manner of advancement and progress in the world of humanity.

An indication of the greatness of this Dispensation
