Morning
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)
Evening
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, authorized translation from Persian; ‘Messages from the Universal House of Justice
1963-1986’)
