Independence
No one can on his own achieve anything. ‘Abdu’l-Bahá must be well pleased and assist.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Compilation of Compilations vol II, p. 362
‘Abdu’l-Bahá said: Those who are working alone are like ants, but when they are united they will become as eagles. Those who work singly are as drops, but, when united, they will become a vast river carrying the cleansing water of life into the barren desert places of the world. Before the power of its rushing flood, neither misery, nor sorrow, nor any grief will be able to stand. Be united! It is rather dangerous to be an isolated drop. It might be spilled or blown away.

Quote of the Day
Jalal 16 Ilm 183 B.E.
Those who turned toward the Word of God and received the profusion of His bounties -- were saved from this attachment and sin, obtained everlasting life, were delivered from the chains of bondage, and attained to the world of liberty. They were freed from the vices of the human world, and were blessed by the virtues of the Kingdom.
