Spiritual Family
Deep as are family ties, we must always remember that the spiritual ties are far deeper; they are everlasting and survive death, whereas physical ties, unless supported by spiritual bonds, are confined to this life . . .
- Shoghi Effendi, Lights of Guidance, p. 218
Unless and until the believers really come to realise they are one spiritual family, knit together by a bond more lasting than mere physical ties can ever be, they will not be able to create that warm community atmosphere which alone can attract the hearts of humanity, frozen for lack of real love and feeling.
- Shoghi Effendi, Unfolding Destiny, p. 439
Quote of the Day
Kamal 11 Nur 183 B.E.
He was very sad to hear that you have not been well, for it undoubtedly caused much anxiety to the members of your family and also kept you from your work. The Cause cannot afford seeing its fine servants ill and handicapped. Please take great care of yourself that the attack may not recur.
Shoghi Effendi – Messages to the Indian Subcontinent, p. 77
