Morning
Today the friends of God must appear in such wise among God’s servants that by their actions they may lead all unto the pleasure of the Lord of Glory. I swear by the Sun of the Horizon of Holiness that the friends of God never have regarded nor will regard the earth or its transitory riches.
- Baha’u’llah (From a Tablet, Baha’i News no. 48, February 1931)
Evening
…today victory neither has been nor will ever be opposition to any one, nor strife with any person; but rather what is well-pleasing is that the cities of men’s hearts, which are under the dominion of the hosts of selfishness and lust, should be subdued by the sword of wisdom and of exhortation. Every one, then, who desires victory must first subdue the city of his own heart with the sword of spiritual truth and of the Word, and must protect it from remembering aught beside God; afterwards, let him turn his efforts toward the citadel of the hearts of others.
- Baha’u’llah (From a
Tablet, Baha’i News no. 48, February 1931)
