Whatsoever driveth thee away from the one true God and
shutteth thee out from the Best-Beloved is blameworthy and reprehensible,
whilst everything that draweth thee nigh unto Him is acceptable and
praiseworthy. One must consider matters with the eye of discernment, shun
whatsoever may be the cause of remoteness from God, and awaken to all that is
the source of nearness and illumination.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (From a Tablet;

Auxiliaries, May 2018)
