Attach no importance to self-seeking, rejection, arrogance,
oppression and enmity. Heed them not. Deal in the contrary way. Be kind in
truth, not only in appearance and outwardly. Every soul of the friends of God
must concentrate his mind on this, that he may manifest the mercy of God and
the bounty of the Forgiving One. He must do good to every soul whom he
encounters, and render benefit to him, becoming the cause of improving the
morals and correcting the thoughts so that the light of guidance may shine
forth and the bounty of His Holiness the Merciful One may encompass.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a Tablet, Star of the West, vol. 11, no. 8, August 1, 1920)
