Servant
But those who have been servants of the divine beauty are never forgotten. The result of their works is everywhere visible. What king is there of two thousand years ago whose kingdom has lived in the hearts? But those disciples who were devoted to God -- poor people who had neither fortune nor position -- are today trees bearing fruit. Their banner is raised higher every day.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Divine Philosophy, p. 137
Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 1 Mulk 182 B.E.
With regard to your first question on alcohol and drinking, Bahá’u’lláh, fully aware of the great misery that it bring about, prohibits it as He expressly states that everything that takes away the mind, or in other words makes one drunk, is forbidden.
