Distinction
If a man would seek distinction, he should suffice himself with a frugal provision, seek to better the lot of the poor of the realm, choose the way of justice and fair-mindedness, and tread the path of high-spirited service. Such a one, needy though he be, shall win imperishable riches and attain unto everlasting honour.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Compilation of Compilations vol II, p. 342-343
Quote of the Day
Jamal 1 Mashiyyat 183 B.E.
After the formation of the National Spiritual Assembly, laxity and negligence in the holding of its meetings, in the coming together of its nine members, and in the discharge of its sacred responsibilities, will have undesirable repercussions in the community, will weaken and disgrace the Cause, will create chaos and confusion, and will cause the Faith to decline and retrogress.
Shoghi Effendi – Lights of Guidance, p. 43-44
