Bahá’í Quotes

Spiritual Family

Deep as are family ties, we must always remember that the spiritual ties are far deeper; they are everlasting and survive death, whereas physical ties, unless supported by spiritual bonds, are confined to this life . . .

- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 218

Unless and until the believers really come to realise they are one spiritual family, knit together by a bond more lasting than mere physical ties can ever be, they will not be able to create that warm community atmosphere which alone can attract the hearts of humanity, frozen for lack of real love and feeling.

- Shoghi Effendi, Unfolding Destiny, p. 439
