Bahá’í Quotes

Independence

No one can on his own achieve anything. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá must be well pleased and assist.

- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Compilation of Compilations vol II, p. 362

‘Abdu’l-Bahá said: Those who are working alone are like ants, but when they are united they will become as eagles. Those who work singly are as drops, but, when united, they will become a vast river carrying the cleansing water of life into the barren desert places of the world. Before the power of its rushing flood, neither misery, nor sorrow, nor any grief will be able to stand. Be united! It is rather dangerous to be an isolated drop. It might be spilled or blown away.

- Lady Blomfield, The Chosen Highway, p. 171

Quote of the Day

Idal 17 Ala 182 B.E.

In the Holy Writings of former religions we read how Moses heard the voice of God through the Burning Bush or how the Dove descended upon Christ or how Muhammad received His Revelation through the Angel Gabriel. All these are different symbols of the same entity, the Holy Spirit, which acts as an intermediary between God and His Manifestations.
