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
Jamal 3 Ilm 183 B.E.
Many people whoso believe in God may be truthful and honest in a normal situation. But the real criterion of a man's truthfulness and honesty is his attitude at the time of temptation. When severe tests and trials descend upon man, the only thing which keeps him truthful is his faith in God. If he does not believe in God, there is no motivation within him to resist temptation.
