Self-Desire
Verily, those who withhold themselves from the shelter of the Branch are indeed lost in the wilderness of perplexity; and are consumed by the heat of self-desire, and are of those who perish.
- Bahá’u’lláh, Bahá’í World Faith, p. 205
Quote of the Day
Idal 15 Rahmat 183 B.E.
No true and faithful Bahá’í should in this day remain idle or seek what would give him comfort or even inner satisfaction. We should be constantly assailing the forces of darkness that have enveloped the earth and hasten the dawn of the new day foretold by Bahá’u’lláh.
Shoghi Effendi quoted in Hooper C. Dunbar’s “Forces of Our Time – The Dynamics of Light and Darkness”
