A power which can overcome human prejudices


"A power [which can overcome human prejudices and] can overshadow the effect of all other forces [is] that irresistible power [of] the love of God." - 'Abdu'l-Bahá

"The steed of this Valley [of Love] is pain. ; and if there be no pain this journey will never end. In this station the lover hath no thought save the Beloved, and seeketh no refuge save the Friend. At every moment he offereth a hundred lives in the path of the Loved One, at every step he throweth a thousand heads at the feet of the Beloved."

- Bahá'u'lláh

O lion-hearted one amongst men! Regard the afflictions endured in the path of God as comfort itself. Every affliction suffered for His sake is a potent remedy, every bitterness is naught but sweetness and every abasement an exaltation. Were men to apprehend and acknowledge this truth, they would readily lay down their lives for such affliction. For it is the key to inestimable treasures, and no matter how outwardly abhorrent, it hath ever been and will continue to be inwardly prized.

- Bahá'u'lláh
