“Recite ye the verses of God every morn and eventide.” (Bahá’u’lláh, ‘The Kitáb-i-Aqdas’)

September 18

Morning

A new life is, in this age, stirring within all the peoples of the earth; and yet none hath discovered its cause or perceived its motive. 

- Baha’u’llah  (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)

Evening

…on the Day of Resurrection God will ask everyone of his understanding and not of his following in the footsteps of others. How often a person, having inclined his ears to the holy verses, would bow down in humility and would embrace the Truth, while his leader would not do so. Thus every individual must bear his own responsibility, rather than someone else bearing it for him. 

- The Báb  ('Persian Bayan'; ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)
