Spiritual Family
Deep as are family ties, we must always remember that the spiritual ties are far deeper; they are everlasting and survive death, whereas physical ties, unless supported by spiritual bonds, are confined to this life . . .
- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 218
Unless and until the believers really come to realise they are one spiritual family, knit together by a bond more lasting than mere physical ties can ever be, they will not be able to create that warm community atmosphere which alone can attract the hearts of humanity, frozen for lack of real love and feeling.
- Shoghi Effendi, Unfolding Destiny, p. 439
Quote of the Day
Fidal 2 Kalimat 183 B.E.
Perhaps the greatest test Bahá’ís are ever subjected to is from each other; but for the sake of the Master they should be ever ready to overlook each other's mistakes, apologize for harsh words they have uttered, forgive and forget. He strongly recommends to you this course of action.
Shoghi Effendi – Lights of Guidance, p. 601
