Wishes
O thou who art turning thy face towards God! Close thine eyes to all things else, and open them to the realm of the All-Glorious. Ask whatsoever thou wishest of Him alone; seek whatsoever thou seekest from Him alone. With a look He granteth a hundred thousand hopes, with a glance He healeth a hundred thousand incurable ills, with a nod He layeth balm on every wound, with a glimpse He freeth the hearts from the shackles of grief.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, p. 51
Quote of the Day
Fidal 16 Qudrat 182 B.E.
Terrible as persecution is, we must always remember that it waters the tree of Religion, and that from such deeds as this the believers -- far from being cowed and silenced -- must derive inspiration and courage.
Shoghi Effendi – Dawn of a New Day, p. 141
