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
Istiqlal 10 Ilm 182 B.E.
In matters which affect the Cause the Assembly should, if it deems it necessary, intervene even if both sides do not want it to, because the whole purpose of the Assemblies is to protect the Faith, the Communities, and the individual Bahá’í as well.
Shoghi Effendi – Principles of Bahá’í Administration, p. 58
