Morning
The civilization so often vaunted by the learned exponents of arts and sciences, will, if allowed to overleap the bounds of moderation, bring great evil upon men.... If carried to excess, civilization will prove as prolific a source of evil as it had been of goodness when kept within the restraints of moderation.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in a letter
dated 25 December 1938; ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
Evening
Disencumber yourselves of all attachment to this world and the vanities thereof. Beware that ye approach them not, inasmuch as they prompt you to walk after your own lusts and covetous desires, and hinder you from entering the straight and glorious Path.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi
in a letter dated 25 December 1938; ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
