Disobedience
Man has opposed the will of God and acted in opposition to the plan of God. Therefore, from the beginning of history to the present time the world of humanity has had no lasting rest; warfare and strife have continuously prevailed, and hearts have manifested hatred toward each other.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 297-298
Quote of the Day
Jalal 13 Qudrat 182 B.E.
Oppression is the wind that doth fan the fire of the Love of God. Welcome persecution and bitterness. A soldier may bear arms, but until he hath faced the enemy in battle he hath not earned his place in the king's army. Let nothing defeat you. God is your helper. God is invincible. Be firm in the Heavenly Covenant. Pray for strength. It will be given to you, no matter how difficult the conditions.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – Crisis and Victory, pp. 155-156
