Desire
. . . now that the hour of its fruiting is come, strive that it may be protected, and be not consumed with the flame of desire and passion.

Quote of the Day
Fidal 1 Izzat 183 B.E.
It is the responsibility of Bahá’í Assemblies to decide when individual interests should be subordinated to those affecting the collective welfare of the community. But, as already stated, the interest of the individual should always be safeguarded within certain limits, and provided they do not seriously affect the welfare of the group as a whole.
