Accusation
Man must seek to gain the acceptance of God and not that of the different classes of men. If one is praised and chosen by God, the accusation of all the creatures will cause no loss to him; and if the man is not accepted in the threshold of God, the praise and admiration of all men will be of no use to him.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v1, p. 158
We are loath to mention such things, neither have We had, nor do We have now, any desire to complain against Our accuser.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Epistle to the Son of the Wolf, p. 34-35
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.
