Spirituality
O thou who art assured in God! . . . Verily thy Lord will strengthen thee in great spirituality and cause thy heart to overflow with the gifts of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v1, p. 121-122
Thank God our desire is for spirituality and for union with God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in London, p. 46
Thus, spirituality is the greatest of God's gifts, and 'Life Everlasting' means 'Turning to God'. May you, one and all, increase daily in spirituality, may you be strengthened in all goodness, may you be helped more and more by the Divine consolation, be made free by the Holy Spirit of God, and may the power of the Heavenly Kingdom live and work among you. This is my earnest desire, and I pray to God to grant you this favour.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 111-112
Quote of the Day
Jalal 17 Masail 182 B.E.
We realize that a great problem is presented by gossip when it occurs in Bahá’í communities, and the poison it can instill into the relationship between the friends. However, deprivation of voting rights is usually of little help in such circumstances and should be resorted to only after other remedies have been tried and failed.
