And I say unto you that no calumny is able to prevail
against the Light of God; it can only result in causing it to be more
universally recognized. If a cause were of no significance, who would take the
trouble to work against it!
But always the greater the cause the more do enemies arise
in larger and larger numbers to attempt its overthrow! The brighter the light
the darker the shadow! Our part it is to act in accordance with the teaching of
Bahá’u’lláh in humility and firm steadfastness.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk,
November 20th, 1911, ‘Paris Talks’)
