The firmness and steadfastness of the person will become
evident and manifest. How could the disciples of His Holiness (Christ) attain
to any spiritual development if they did not undergo trials and tests!
O friend! Although we are weak, yet the confirmations of the
Merciful Lord are inexhaustible. Pray thou that the ill-natured become
good-natured and the weak become strong.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 2’)
