Hugging
The pilgrim’s note reports the Master as saying: ‘Women and men must not embrace each other when not married, or not about to be married. They must not kiss each other If they wish to greet each other, or comfort each other, they may take each other by the hand.
- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 440-441
Quote of the Day
Fidal 5 Nur 183 B.E.
O my God! O my God! Thou seest me drowned in the sea of ordeals, seized upon by the fire of infidelity, with tears flowing in the dark night rolling in the bed of sleeplessness, mine eyes expectant to see the dawn of the lights of Faith. And when I am anxious, as the fish whose bowels are inflamed upon the dust, I anticipate the manifestation of Thy bounties from all sides!
