Adolescence
Humanity is now experiencing the commotions invariably associated with the most turbulent stage of its evolution, the stage of adolescence, when the impetuosity of youth and its vehemence reach their climax, and must gradually be superseded by the calmness, the wisdom, and the maturity that characterize the stage of manhood.
- Shoghi Effendi, The World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 202
Quote of the Day
Jalal 3 Masail 182 B.E.
Adam is the spirit of Adam, and Eve is His soul; the tree is the human world, and the serpent is that attachment to this world which constitutes sin, and which has infected the descendants of Adam. Christ by His holy breezes saved men from this attachment and freed them from this sin.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – Some Answered Questions, p. 126
