Conceit
Cast away, therefore, the mere conceit thou dost follow, for mere conceit can never take the place of truth. Be thou of them that have truly repented and returned to God, the God Who hath created thee, Who hath nourished thee, and made thee a minister among them that profess thy faith.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 220

The Assemblies must be wise and gentle in dealing with such cases (i.e. Bahá’ís using alcoholic beverages), but at the same time must not tolerate a prolonged and flagrant disregard of the Bahá’í Teachings as regards alcohol.
