Accusation
Man must seek to gain the acceptance of God and not that of the different classes of men. If one is praised and chosen by God, the accusation of all the creatures will cause no loss to him; and if the man is not accepted in the threshold of God, the praise and admiration of all men will be of no use to him.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v1, p. 158
We are loath to mention such things, neither have We had, nor do We have now, any desire to complain against Our accuser.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 34-35
Quote of the Day
Istijlal 14 Nur 183 B.E.
Looking back upon those sullen days of my retirement, bitter with feelings of anxiety and gloom, I can recall with appreciation and gratitude those unmistakable evidences of your affection and steadfast zeal which I have received from time to time, and which have served to relieve in no small measure the burden that weighed so heavily upon my heart.
Shoghi Effendi – Bahá’í Administration, p. 66
