Mrs. Goodall :--" Is it necessary to arise to say the midnight prayers and to make ablution before them?"
Abdul Baha :--" Ablution is only for obligatory prayers three times a day."--" Daily Lessons," p. 74.
Abdul Baha restores man to his state a little lower than the angels. . . . On this occasion we newcomers were presented with a Bahai stone marked with Baha Ullah's name. Such objects contain a spiritual influence . . . actually retain and set free something of the holy man's personality. . . . At my request, Abdul Baba graciously took back the stone I had received and returned it with a blessing for my baby girl, who thus, as it were, accompanied us on our pilgrimage and received its benefit. -- Horace Holey at Thonon. His "The Modern Social Religion," p. 216.
Christ in the Gospel says: "Let not your hearts be troubled." "Let not your heart be troubled; neither let it be afraid." "I am with you always." "If any man love me, he will keep my words." "It is expedient for you that I go away." "I will see you again." |
Baha
Ullah says: "Be not troubled." "Let not your trouble take possession of you." "We are with you under all conditions." "Whoso knoweth me, will rise up to serve me." "Verily there is in my occultation a reason." "We shall see you." |
