Abdu'l-Bahá
“Religion should unite all hearts and cause wars and disputes to vanish from the face of the earth; it should give birth to spirituality, and bring light and life to every soul. If religion becomes a cause of dislike, hatred and division, it would be better to be without it... Any religion which is not a cause of love and unity is no religion.”
Abdu'l-Bahá

Abdu'l-Bahá
“When a man turns his face to God he finds sunshine everywhere.”
Abdu'l-Baha

Abdu'l-Bahá
“ Man is in reality a spiritual being and only when he lives in the spirit is he truly happy. ”
Abdu'l-Baha

Abdu'l-Bahá
“Love the creatures for the sake of God and not for themselves. You will never become angry or impatient if you love them for the sake of God. Humanity is not perfect. There are imperfections in every human being, and you will always become unhappy if you look toward the people themselves. But if you look toward God, you will love them and be kind to them, for the world of God is the world of perfection and complete mercy. Therefore, do not look at the shortcomings of anybody; see with the sight of forgiveness. The imperfect eye beholds imperfections. The eye that covers faults looks toward the Creator of souls. He created them, trains and provides for them, endows them with capacity and life, sight and hearing; therefore, they are the signs of His grandeur. You must love and be kind to everybody, care for the poor, protect the weak, heal the sick, teach and educate the ignorant.”
Abdu'l-Baha

Abdu'l-Bahá
“ One must see in every human being only that which is worthy
of praise. When this is done, one can be a friend to the whole human
race. If, however, we look at people from the standpoint of their
faults, then being a friend to them is a formidable task............

.....Thus is it incumbent upon us, when we direct our gaze toward
other people, to see where they excel, not where they fail.

Abdu'l-Baha
