Undertow
The condition of the world is such today that it is like a great negative undertow trying to pull down all but the strongest and most firmly rooted. The friends should realize this and draw closer to each other, knowing that they form one spiritual family, closer to each other, in the sight of God, than those united by ties of blood.

Quote of the Day
Kamal 4 Ilm 183 B.E.
In the world or kingdom of the minerals certain materials or elemental substances exist. When through the law of creation they enter into composition, a being or organism comes into existence . . . When certain elements are composed, an animal comes into being . . . Again, certain atoms are bound together by chemical affinity; a composition called a flower appears. .
