After His return He wrote the following pathetic Tablet to the believers in East and West:-- Friends, the time is coming when I shall be no longer with you.

I have done all that could be done.

I have served the Cause of Baha'u'llah to the utmost of my ability.

I have labored night and day all the years of my life.
Oh, how I long to see the believers shouldering the responsibilities of the Cause! Now is the time to proclaim the Kingdom of Abha (i.e.The Most Glorious!).

Now is the hour of union and concord! Now is the day of the spiritual harmony of the friends of God! ...
I am straining my ears toward the East and toward the West, toward the North and toward the South, that haply I may hear the songs of love and fellowship raised in the meetings of the believers.
