95: HEROISM IS NEEDED
| |
1 |
"These, indeed, are the days when heroism is needed on the
part of the believers. Self-sacrifice, courage, indomitable hope
and confidence are characteristics they should show forth,
because these very attributes cannot but fix the attention of
the public and lead them to enquire what, in a world so hopelessly
chaotic and bewildered, leads these people to be so
assured, so confident, so full of devotion? Increasingly, as time
goes by, the characteristics of the Bahá'ís will be that which
captures the attention of their fellow-citizens. They must show
their aloofness from the hatreds and recriminations which are
tearing at the hearts of humanity, and demonstrate by deed and
word their profound belief in the future peaceful unification of
the entire human race."
