Men keep their possessions for their own enjoyment and do not share sufficiently with others the bounty received from God. Spring is thus changed into the winter of selfishness and egotism.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in London, p. 82
Quote of the Day
Jamal 15 Sultan 182 B.E.
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.
Shoghi Effendi – Bahá’í News, June 1958, p. 16
