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

October 11

Morning

In the estimation of men of insight whatsoever befalleth in the path of God is manifest glory and a supreme attainment. Already We have said: “Glory to Thee, O my God! But for the tribulations which are sustained in Thy path, how could Thy true lovers be recognized; and were it not for the trials which are borne for love of Thee, how could the station of such as yearn for Thee be revealed?” 

- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)

Evening

O Son of Being! Busy not thyself with this world, for with fire We test the gold, and with gold We test Our servants. 

- Baha’u’llah (‘The Hidden Words’)
