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
Istiqlal 1 Mulk 182 B.E.
With regard to your first question on alcohol and drinking, Bahá’u’lláh, fully aware of the great misery that it bring about, prohibits it as He expressly states that everything that takes away the mind, or in other words makes one drunk, is forbidden.
