Bewildered
We were dismayed by his [Mírzá Yahyá ] deceitfulness -- nay, bewildered were all things visible and invisible.
- Bahá’u’lláh, The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, p. 16
The Truth is easy to understand although the outward forms in which it is expressed bewilder the intelligence. As men grow they see the futility of man-made forms and despise them. Therefore many leave the churches, because the latter often emphasize the external only.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in London, p. 57
Quote of the Day
Istiqlal 12 Qudrat 182 B.E.
But after I leave, some people may arise in Opposition, heaping persecutions upon you in their bitterness . . . Rest ye in the assurance of firmness. Be well poised and serene, remembering that this is only as the harmless twittering of sparrows and that it will soon pass away.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá – Promulgation of Universal Peace, pp. 428-430
