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
Jamal 10 Mulk 182 B.E.
The Bahá’ís are free to greet each other with Allah'u'Abhá when they meet, if they want to, but they should avoid anything which to outsiders, in a western country, might seem like some strange oriental password. We must be very firm on principles and laws, but very normal and natural in our ways, so as to attract strangers!
Shoghi Effendi – Lights of Guidance, p. 266
