Isolation
O concourse of monks! Seclude not yourselves in your churches and cloisters. Come ye out of them by My leave, and busy, then, yourselves with what will profit you and others. Thus commandeth you He Who is the Lord of the Day of Reckoning.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 49
Seclude yourselves in the stronghold of My love. This, verily, is a befitting seclusion, were ye of them that perceive it. He that shutteth himself up in a house is indeed as one dead. It behoveth man to show forth that which will profit all created things, and he that bringeth forth no fruit is fit for fire.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 49
Quote of the Day
Jalal 2 Ilm 183 B.E.
The materialists and atheists declare that this order and symmetry is due to nature and its forces; that composition and decomposition which constitute life and existence are exigencies of nature; that man himself is an exigency of nature; that nature rules and governs creation; and that all existing things are captives of nature.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 81
