Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 1 Nur 183 B.E.
In the treasuries of the knowledge of God there lieth concealed a knowledge which, when applied, will largely, though not wholly, eliminate fear. This knowledge, however, should be taught from childhood, as it will greatly aid in its elimination . Whatever decreaseth fear increaseth courage.
Bahá’u’lláh – Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 32
