Bahá’í Quotes

Spiritual Experiences

If we are going to have some deeply spiritual experience we can rest assured God will vouchsafe it to us without having to look for it.

- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 514

Spiritual experiences have undoubtedly great influence on us individually and, therefore, arouse deep interest, but of paramount importance in this day is to forget them and go out into the world trying to save the human race from its threatening condition. This is the call of the day, this is the duty of every soul who desires to follow the path traced by Bahá’u’lláh.

- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 522

Quote of the Day

Idal 3 Kalimat 183 B.E.

The Bahá’ís are fully entitled to address criticisms to their assemblies; they can freely air their views about policies or individual members of elected bodies to the assembly, local or national, but then they must whole-heartedly accept the advice or decision of the assembly, according to the principles already laid down for such matters in Bahá’í administration.
