The world is encircled with calamities. Even if at times
some good may be evident, it is inevitable that a great calamity followeth --
and yet no one on earth hath perceived its origin.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by the
Universal House of Justice in a message dated 10 February 1980, addressed to
the Iranian believers resident in other countries throughout the world,
translated from Persian; ‘Messages from the Universal House of Justice
1963-1986’)
