Quote of the week #53…

“O ye men of wisdom among nations!
Shut your eyes to estrangement, then fix
your gaze upon unity. Cleave tenaciously
unto that which will lead to the well-being
and tranquillity of all mankind. This span
of earth is but one homeland and one
habitation. It behoveth you to abandon
vainglory which causeth alienation and to
set your hearts on whatever will ensure
harmony. In the estimation of the people
of Baha, man’s glory lieth in his knowledge,
his upright conduct, his praiseworthy character,
his wisdom, and not in his nationality or rank.
O people of the earth! Appreciate the value
of this heavenly word.”

~ Baha’u'llah~

an invisible labor.”

Quote of the week #44…

Religion must be the cause of affection. It must be a joy-bringer. If it become the cause of difference, it were better to banish it. Should it become the source of hatred, or warfare, it were better that it should not exist. If a remedy produce added illness, it were far better to discard the remedy. A religion which does not conform with the postulates of science is merely superstition.

~ Abdu’l-Baha
