Broken Heart
Assist with the hands of justice the broken-hearted . . . .
- Bahá’u’lláh, Bahá’í Scriptures, p. 116
If we are caused joy or pain by a friend, if a love prove true or false, it is the soul that is affected. If our dear ones are far from us -- it is the soul that grieves, and the grief or trouble of the soul may react on the body.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 65
A distinguished Muslim, ‘Abdu’l-lah Mukhlis, on the death of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, said: I beg your pardon if I fail in doing my duty as far as faithfulness is concerned or if I am unable to pay the generous one who has departed what he deserves of the best and highest praise, because what my tongue utters has emanated froma tender memory and broken heart.
- H.M. Balyuzi, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá - The Centre of the Covenant, p. 469
But, even as the sun rises after the darkest night, so have emerged the clear evidences of the unfailing protection of Bahá’u’lláh vouchsafed to His broken-hearted servants.

Had it not been for ‘Abdu’l- Bahá, -- His Love and faith in me, I would have succumbed broken-hearted. He alone has sustained me.

Quote of the Day
Kamal 15 Qudrat 182 B.E.
You must withstand them with the utmost love and kindness; consider their oppression and persecution as the caprice of children, and do not give any importance to whatever they do. For at the end the illumination of the Kingdom will overwhelm the darkness of the world and the exaltation and grandeur of your station will become apparent and manifest . . . Rest ye assured.
