The task is God's, and God calls not only the Prophets but all mankind to be His co- workers in this creative process. If we refuse His invitation, we shall not hinder the work from going on, for what God wills shall surely come to pass. If we fail to play our part He can raise up other instruments to perform His purpose; but we shall miss the real aim and object of our own lives. At- one- ment with God - becoming His lovers, His servants, the willing channels and mediums of His Creative Power, so that we are conscious of no life within us but His Divine and abundant life - that, according to the Baha'i teaching, is the ineffable and glorious consummation of human existence
(162:2)
