Deliverance
Just as calamity is due to disobedience, so deliverance from calamity can be obtained only be obedience. There is no chance or uncertainty about the matter. Turning from God inevitably brings disaster, and turning to God as inevitably brings blessing.
- Dr. J.E. Esslemont, Bahá’u’lláh and the New Era, p. 95
Quote of the Day
Jamal 10 Mulk 182 B.E.
The Bahá’ís are free to greet each other with Allah'u'Abhá when they meet, if they want to, but they should avoid anything which to outsiders, in a western country, might seem like some strange oriental password. We must be very firm on principles and laws, but very normal and natural in our ways, so as to attract strangers!
Shoghi Effendi – Lights of Guidance, p. 266
