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
Istijlal 8 Jalal 183 B.E.
God has created all in His image and likeness. Shall we manifest hatred for His creatures and servants? This would be contrary to the will of God and according to the will of Satan, by which we mean the natural inclinations of the lower nature.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 286
