Whatsoever occurreth in the world of being is light for His
loved ones and fire for the people of sedition and strife. Even if all the
losses of the world were to be sustained by one of the friends of God, he would
still profit thereby, whereas true loss would be borne by such as are wayward,
ignorant and contemptuous.
- Baha’u’llah (The Compilation of Compilations vol.
I, Crisis and Victory)
