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
Fidal 1 Izzat 183 B.E.
It is the responsibility of Bahá’í Assemblies to decide when individual interests should be subordinated to those affecting the collective welfare of the community. But, as already stated, the interest of the individual should always be safeguarded within certain limits, and provided they do not seriously affect the welfare of the group as a whole.
