Ambition
Let your ambition be the achievement on earth of a Heavenly civilization!
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 98
With regard to the things of the spirit they are as lifeless as a stone; nor do they wish to be otherwise . . . But man's ambition should soar above this -- he should ever look higher than himself, ever upward and onward, until through the Mercy of God he may come to the Kingdom of Heaven.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 71
Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 19 Qudrat 182 B.E.
Trials and persecutions have always been, and will continue to be, the lot of the chosen ones of God. But these they should consider blessings in disguise, as through them their faith will be quickened, purified and strengthened.
Shoghi Effendi – Crisis and Victory, p. 148
