Path
The pathway of life is the road which leads to divine knowledge and attainment. Without training and guidance the soul could never progress beyond the conditions of its lower nature, which is ignorant and defective.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 296
Incline your ears, O friends of God, to the voice of Him Whom the world hath wronged, and hold fast unto whatsoever will exalt His Cause. He, verily, guideth whomsoever He pleaseth unto His straight Path. This is a Revelation that infuseth strength into the feeble, and crowneth with wealth the destitute.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 553
The Right Path is a path which leads man to the dayspring of perception and dawning place of knowledge, and directs him to that which is the cause of honor and glory and greatness.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Bahá’í Scriptures, p. 144
Leave the ways of the people and count that the paths of the negligent ones are the lost and destroyed paths, and say: verily, He never walks in your paths and never does as ye have done. He hath already appeared and manifested His right path and taught all His true way.
- Bahá’í Scriptures, p. 233
Quote of the Day
Jalal 17 Masail 182 B.E.

However, deprivation of voting rights is usually of little help in such circumstances and should be resorted to only after other remedies have been tried and failed.
