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
Fidal 10 Mashiyyat 183 B.E.
The lives of the Founders of our Faith clearly show that to be fundamentally assured does not mean that we live without anxieties, nor does being happy mean that there are not periods of deep grief when, like the Guardian, we wrap ourselves in a blanket, pray and supplicate, and give ourselves time for healing in preparation for the next great effort.
Shoghi Effendi – Quickeners of Mankind, p. 117
