Extraterrestrial
How is it possible to conceive that these stupendous stellar bodies are not inhabited? Verily, they are peopled, but let it be known that the dwellers accord with the elements of their respective spheres. These living beings do not have states of consciousness like unto those who live on the surface of this globe: the power of adaptation and environment moulds their bodies and states of consciousness, just as our bodies and minds are suited to our planet . . . Beings who inhabit those distant luminous bodies are attuned to the elements that have gone into the composition of their respective spheres.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Divine Philosophy, p. 113
Quote of the Day
Istijlal 14 Nur 183 B.E.
Looking back upon those sullen days of my retirement, bitter with feelings of anxiety and gloom, I can recall with appreciation and gratitude those unmistakable evidences of your affection and steadfast zeal which I have received from time to time, and which have served to relieve in no small measure the burden that weighed so heavily upon my heart.
Shoghi Effendi – Bahá’í Administration, p. 66
