"lighten and uplift them, so that they may soar on the wings of the Divine verses" -Bahá'u'lláh

Counsel
 

Our hope is that the world's religious leaders and the rulers thereof will unitedly arise for the reformation of this age and the rehabilitation of its fortunes. Let them, after meditating on its needs, take counsel together and, through anxious and full deliberation, administer to a diseased and sorely-afflicted world the remedy it requireth. The Great Being saith: The heaven of divine wisdom is illumined with the two luminaries of consultation and compassion. Take ye counsel together in all matters, inasmuch as consultation is the lamp of guidance which leadeth the way, and is the bestower of understanding.
   -Baha'u'llah
Tablets of Baha'u'llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas, p. 168
