Bahá’í Quotes

Spiritual Experiences

If we are going to have some deeply spiritual experience we can rest assured God will vouchsafe it to us without having to look for it.

Spiritual experiences have undoubtedly great influence on us individually and, therefore, arouse deep interest, but of paramount importance in this day is to forget them and go out into the world trying to save the human race from its threatening condition. This is the call of the day, this is the duty of every soul who desires to follow the path traced by Bahá’u’lláh.
