Malice
Beware lest ye give ear to the words of those from whom the foul smell of malice and envy can be discerned; pay no heed to them, and stand ye for righteousness.
- Bahá’u’lláh, The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, p. 199
Purge thy heart from malice and . . . enter the divine court of holiness.
- Bahá’u’lláh, The Persian Hidden Words 42
For malice is a grievous malady which depriveth man from recognizing the Great Being, and debarreth him from the splendors of the sun of certitude. We pray and hope that through the grace and mercy of God He may remove this mighty obstacle. He, verily, is the Potent, the All-Subduing, the Almighty.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 96
Quote of the Day
Idal 14 Asma 183 B.E.
Alas, most of the people are fast asleep. They are even as the man who, in his drunkenness, became attracted to a dog, took it in his embrace, and made it his plaything, and who, when the morn of discernment dawned and the light of the sun enveloped the horizon, realized that the object of his affection was but a dog. Then, filled with shame and remorse, he repaired to his abode.
