Bahá’í Quotes

Broken Winged Bird

O God, O God! This is a broken-winged bird and his flight is very slow -- assist him so that he may fly toward the apex of prosperity and salvation, wing his way with the utmost joy and happiness throughout the illimitable space, raise his melody in Thy Supreme Name in all the regions, exhilarate the ears with this call, and brighten the eyes by beholding the signs of guidance.

- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of the Divine Plan, p. 89
