Loneliness
Be not grieved if thou performest it thyself alone. Let God be all-sufficient for thee. Commune intimately with His Spirit, and be thou of the thankful.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 279
O Lord! Grant me communion with Thee in my loneliness, and be my companion in these foreign lands.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of the Divine Plan, p. 46
There is no harm in thy loneliness in those regions; for verily, the hosts of confirmation are thy help, thy Glorious Lord is thy protector and the angels of the Kingdom are thy fellow-speakers. Glad-tidings be unto thee for this! Blessed art thou for this!
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v1, p. 61
Quote of the Day
Idal 13 Nur 183 B.E.
I wish to reaffirm my deep sense of gratitude and admiration for the splendid manner in which the English believers are discharging their duties and responsibilities in these days of increasing peril, anxiety and stress. Their tenacity, courage, faith and noble exertions will as a magnet attract the undoubted and promised blessing of Bahá’u’lláh.
