February 22

Your home is simple and furnished plainly. People are captivated by the superfluities of the present generation. It is impossible for a man to furnish his house in utmost perfection. The more he tries the more he finds it lacking because every day new products are manufactured. People have filled their lives with difficulties. 
(‘Abdu’l-Baha’s words to Mason Remey when visited his house; August 17, 1912, Mahmud’s Diary)
