Bahá’í Quotes

Inner Eye

Could ye apprehend with what wonders of My munificence and bounty I have willed to entrust your souls, ye would, of a truth, rid yourselves of attachment to all created things, and would gain a true knowledge of your own selves -- a knowledge which is the same as the comprehension of Mine own Being. Ye would find yourselves independent of all else but Me, and would perceive, with your inner and outer eye, and as manifest as the revelation of My effulgent Name, the seas of My loving-kindness and bounty moving within you.

- Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 326-327

Prior exposure to other forms of violence may exacerbate the effects of domestic violence.
