I think the most haunting photo from this group is the one that accompanies "In The Morning You Will Be Shot". The total look of shock, knowing what is in store for them, and the innocence of the little girl who has no idea of what is ahead is haunting. The photo conveys a thousand words. The accompanying article is excellent, but it is the photo that says so much.

Prayer need not be in words, but rather in thought

Prayer need not be in words, but rather in thought and attitude. But if this love and this desire are lacking, it is useless to try to force them. Words without love mean nothing. If a person talks to you as an unpleasant duty, finding neither love nor enjoyment in the meeting, do you wish to converse with him? - #AbdulBaha⠀

Can we simultaneously believe in more than one divine messenger? Yes, the Baha'i teachings emphatically say – in fact, all Baha’is accept each one of God’s prophets.⁠

Fifty-years ago in Chicago, the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave one of the most eloquent and revolutionary speeches of his entire career – and that is saying something. Sadly, most haven’t heard it.⁠

This is the rainy season. If the rain does not pour down, if the wind does not blow, if the storm and tempest do not rage, the soul-refreshing springtime will not appear. If the clouds do not weep the meadows will not laugh. - #AbdulBaha #bahai #spirituality #tests

In this world we are influenced by two sentiments,

In this world we are influenced by two sentiments, Joy and Pain.
Joy gives us wings! In times of joy our strength is more vital, our intellect keener, and our understanding less clouded. We seem better able to cope with the world and to find our sphere of usefulness. But when sadness visits us we become weak, our strength leaves us, our comprehension is dim and our intelligence veiled. The actualities of life seem to elude our grasp, the eyes of our spirits fail to discover the sacred mysteries, and we become even as dead beings.
There is no human being untouched by these two influences; but all the sorrow and the grief that exist come from the world of matter—the spiritual world bestows only the joy! - #AbdulBaha #Bahai #Spirituality #Joy #Happiness
