Heaven and Hell
Heaven and hell are conditions within our own beings.
- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 519
But the paradise and hell of existence are found in all the worlds of God, whether in this world or in the spiritual heavenly worlds.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Bahá’í World Faith, p. 323
Think ye of love and good fellowship as the delights of heaven, think ye of hostility and hatred as the torments of hell.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, p. 244
Quote of the Day
Istijlal 15 Masail 182 B.E.
As regards the question about a person who is mentally ill attending the Feasts, anybody who is well enough mentally to attend a Bahá’í Feast and understand what it is all about is certainly well enough to be a voting member. Only people who are very seriously deranged mentally and confined to institutions or under constant supervision should be deprived of their voting rights.
