Thus informeth you He Who is the Omniscient, He Who is aware." – Bahá'u'lláh, Kitáb-i-Aqdas, ¶ 43 "... ‘Abdu’l-Bahá payeth no heed whatsoever to any ordeal, difficulty, or adversity. Nay, rather, he regardeth adversity to be, at times, the same as bounty itself. For forty years the prison-city of ‘Akká was for him a heavenly paradise, and he saw the early days of that imprisonment, which were its most severe, as a garden of roses.
Thou too must be my companion, and abandon not the arena in the face of afflictions and calamities. Thou must not merely refrain from complaining, but must rather be thankful..." – 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Light of the World, #22.5-6
