Adolescence
Humanity is now experiencing the commotions invariably associated with the most turbulent stage of its evolution, the stage of adolescence, when the impetuosity of youth and its vehemence reach their climax, and must gradually be superseded by the calmness, the wisdom, and the maturity that characterize the stage of manhood.
- Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 202
Quote of the Day
Jamal 12 Rahmat 183 B.E.
You were the fountainhead of learning, the unfailing spring of light for all the earth, how is it that you are withered now, and quenched, and faint of heart? You who once lit the world, how is it that you lurk, inert, bemused, in darkness now? Open your mind's eye, see your great and present need. Rise up and struggle, seek education, seek enlightenment.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – The Secret of Divine Civilization, p. 91
