Ambition
Let your ambition be the achievement on earth of a Heavenly civilization!
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 98
With regard to the things of the spirit they are as lifeless as a stone; nor do they wish to be otherwise . . . But man's ambition should soar above this -- he should ever look higher than himself, ever upward and onward, until through the Mercy of God he may come to the Kingdom of Heaven.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 71
Quote of the Day
Idal 11 Mashiyyat 183 B.E.
...it is absolutely essential that the teachings should not be confused with the obscure ideas related to numerology . . . and the like. Individuals interested in them are free to believe in and credit such ideas and to make any inferences and deductions they desire from them, but under no circumstances are they expected to identify them with the principles and teachings of the Cause.
