Bahá’í Quotes

Determination

The message received from your National Convention brought us much happiness, particularly when we learned of the spirit of determination generated among those present during their purposeful deliberations on the exigencies of the Cause.  We have every confidence that, as the friends press forward with even greater resolve and clarity of vision, they will attract numerous souls who share their aspiration to contribute to the spiritual and social well-being of their society.  They must now work to sustain and expand what has been accomplished, bolstered by the increasing engagement of believers of all ages.  We will supplicate at the Sacred Threshold that their efforts may attract the heavenly confirmations of the Best Beloved of the worlds.

Quote of the Day

Idal 14 Asma 183 B.E.

Alas, most of the people are fast asleep. They are even as the man who, in his drunkenness, became attracted to a dog, took it in his embrace, and made it his plaything, and who, when the morn of discernment dawned and the light of the sun enveloped the horizon, realized that the object of his affection was but a dog. Then, filled with shame and remorse, he repaired to his abode.
