Priorities
The Guardian attaches the greatest importance to your work; and is delighted to see that you are carrying on your various projects with so much enthusiasm and devotion. It would be ideal if an offer, such as that made, could be accepted; but as the Cause has so many burdens to bear at this time, we are forced to do as ‘Abdu’l-Bahá said -- give up the important for the most important.
- Shoghi Effendi, The Compilation of Compilations vol II, p. 116
Quote of the Day
Jalal 2 Ilm 183 B.E.
The materialists and atheists declare that this order and symmetry is due to nature and its forces; that composition and decomposition which constitute life and existence are exigencies of nature; that man himself is an exigency of nature; that nature rules and governs creation; and that all existing things are captives of nature.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 81
