Laziness
For indolence and laxity hinder the outpourings of love from the clouds of divine mercy, and people will thus remain deprived.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Importance of Obligatory Prayer and Fasting, IV
Waste not your time in idleness and indolence, and occupy yourselves with that which will profit yourselves and others beside yourself.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Bahá’í World Faith, p. 195
Quote of the Day
Jamal 3 Ilm 183 B.E.
Many people whoso believe in God may be truthful and honest in a normal situation. But the real criterion of a man's truthfulness and honesty is his attitude at the time of temptation. When severe tests and trials descend upon man, the only thing which keeps him truthful is his faith in God. If he does not believe in God, there is no motivation within him to resist temptation.
