The Change of Heart

1 |
To one who spoke of the people's desire to
possess the land, and of the strong under-current
of rebellion on the part of the labouring classes,
`Abdu'l-Bahá said: " Fighting, and the employment
of force, even for the right cause, will not
bring about good results. The oppressed who
have right on their side, must not take that right
by force; the evil would continue. Hearts must be
changed. The rich must wish to give! Life in man
should be like a flame, warming all with whom it
comes into contact. The spiritually awakened are
like to bright torches in the sight of God, they give
light and comfort to their fellows."

When asked if he did not find the manners of
the English rude and awkward, compared with
those of the East, `Abdu'l-Bahá said he had not
felt this. As a nation increases in spirituality, the
the manners become different.
