Laziness
For indolence and laxity hinder the outpourings of love from the clouds of divine mercy, and people will thus remain deprived.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Importance of Obligatory Prayer and Fasting, IV
Waste not your time in idleness and indolence, and occupy yourselves with that which will profit yourselves and others beside yourself.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Bahá’í World Faith, p. 195
Quote of the Day
Idal 3 Kalimat 183 B.E.
The Bahá’ís are fully entitled to address criticisms to their assemblies; they can freely air their views about policies or individual members of elected bodies to the assembly, local or national, but then they must whole-heartedly accept the advice or decision of the assembly, according to the principles already laid down for such matters in Bahá’í administration.
