Spiritual Children - God's
You who are His spiritual children must by your deeds exemplify His virtues, and witness to His glory.
- Shoghi Effendi, The Dawn-Breakers, p. 92
Now you in reality have acquired all these spiritual children free and gratis [by teaching children’s classes], and that is better than having physical children; for such children are not grateful to their fathers, since they feel that the father serveth them because he must -- and therefore no matter what he doeth for them, they pay it no mind. Spiritual children, however, are always appreciative of their father's loving kindness.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Compilation of Compilations vol. I, p. 273-274
The spiritual father is greater than the physical one, for the latter bestoweth but this world's life, whereas the former endoweth his child with life everlasting.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Compilation of Compilations vol. I, p. 273-274
You are all my children, my spiritual children. Spiritual children are dearer than physical children, for it is possible for physical children to turn away from the Spirit of God, but you are spiritual children and, therefore, you are most beloved.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, p. 92
Quote of the Day
Jalal 7 Mashiyyat 183 B.E.
Clothe yourselves, O people, with the garment of assurance, in order that He may protect you from the dart of doubts and superstitions, and that ye may be of those who are assured in those days wherein none shall ever be assured and none shall be firmly established in the Cause, except by severing himself from all that is possessed by the people and turning unto the holy and radiant Outlook.
