Insanity
Ameen, son of Khan's younger sister Hamideh, a direct descendant of the old historian, was not of a lineage to be envied, for it was said that the posterity of that ancestor were under the curse of insanity because of his slanderous attacks on the Faith of the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh.
- Marzieh Gail, Arches of the Years, p. 66
With the love of God all sciences are accepted and beloved, but without it, are fruitless; nay, rather the cause of insanity.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Bahá’í World Faith, p. 366
Quote of the Day
Jamal 1 Mashiyyat 183 B.E.
After the formation of the National Spiritual Assembly, laxity and negligence in the holding of its meetings, in the coming together of its nine members, and in the discharge of its sacred responsibilities, will have undesirable repercussions in the community, will weaken and disgrace the Cause, will create chaos and confusion, and will cause the Faith to decline and retrogress.
Shoghi Effendi – Lights of Guidance, p. 43-44
