Morning
The betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure and goodly deeds, through commendable and seemly conduct.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted
by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of Divine Justice; also quoted by the
Universal House of Justice in a letter dated 9 November 2018 addressed to the
Baha’is of the world)
Evening
By the glory of Thy might, O my God! Wert Thou to set me king over Thy realms, and to establish me upon the throne of Thy sovereignty, and to deliver, through Thy power, the reins of the entire creation into my hands, and wert Thou to cause me, though it be for less than a moment, to be occupied with these things and be oblivious of the wondrous memories associated with Thy most mighty, most perfect, and most exalted Name, my soul would still remain unsatisfied, and the pangs of my heart unstilled. Nay, I would, in that very state, recognize myself as the poorest of the poor, and the most wretched of the wretched.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
