Comfort
It is clear that whatever glory is gained outside the Cause of God turns to abasement at the end; and ease and comfort not met with on the path of God are finally but care and sorrow; and all such wealth is penury, and nothing more.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Memorials of the Faithful, p. 4
Quote of the Day
Fidal 10 Mashiyyat 183 B.E.
The lives of the Founders of our Faith clearly show that to be fundamentally assured does not mean that we live without anxieties, nor does being happy mean that there are not periods of deep grief when, like the Guardian, we wrap ourselves in a blanket, pray and supplicate, and give ourselves time for healing in preparation for the next great effort.
Shoghi Effendi – Quickeners of Mankind, p. 117
