Obstinacy
How great was the obstinacy with which the Jewish converts among the early Christians adhered to the ceremonies of their ancestors, and how fervent their eagerness to impose them on the Gentiles!
- Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 57
By my life, you are created for love and affection and not for hatred and obstinacy.
- Bahá’í Scriptures, p. 190
Verily, we have been occupied with ourselves. The intoxication of passion seized us; we have taken the road of heedlessness and blindness; have abandoned the path of guidance and have chosen the path of obstinacy and forgotten the commandments of the ancient Scriptures.
- Bahá’í Scriptures, p. 407
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
