Self-Desire
Verily, those who withhold themselves from the shelter of the Branch are indeed lost in the wilderness of perplexity; and are consumed by the heat of self-desire, and are of those who perish.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Bahá’í World Faith, p. 205
Quote of the Day
Istijlal 19 Sultan 182 B.E.
With reference to your question whether those foods which have been flavoured with alcoholic liquors such as brandy, rum, etc., should be classified under the same category as the intoxicating drinks, and consequently be avoided by believers, the Guardian wishes all the friends to know that such food, or beverages, are strictly prohibited.
Shoghi Effendi – Lights of Guidance, p. 350
