Your hearts must be so attracted that when a question is
heard you will be able to give a conclusive answer and the Holy Spirit may
speak through your tongue. You must be assured and confident that the favors
and confirmations of the Blessed Beauty will make a drop into an ocean, a seed
into a fruitful tree, an atom into a luminous sun and a stone into a brilliant
jewel. His favors are great, His treasuries inexhaustible and His bounties
infinite. God, Who has bestowed favors upon others, shall surely bestow His
favors upon you. I supplicate at the Court of the Almighty and beg that mighty
confirmations may surround you, that from your tongues may flow irrefutable
proofs and that your hearts become recipients for the splendors of the Sun of
Reality. (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, New York, December 3, 1912, ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)

May your thoughts expand and your stations be exalted, so
that you may be able to diffuse the fragrances of God and to make prodigious
progress in the world of man. Unless a man acquires perfection for himself, he
cannot teach others how to attain such perfection; and unless he gets life for
himself, he cannot give life to others. We must therefore try first to acquire
the bounties of the Kingdom for ourselves and attain life everlasting, and then
endeavor to quicken the nations and give life to the world. Thus, we must
constantly pray to His Holy Court and seek His eternal bounties. We must
acquire pure hearts like unto mirrors, so that the lights of the Sun of Reality
may shine. Every night and day we must supplicate to Him and beg for His
assistance, saying:
O Lord, we are weak, make us strong; we are ignorant, make us wise. O Lord, we are poor, give us the wealth of the Kingdom. O God, we are dead, bestow upon us everlasting life; we are in utter lowliness, exalt us in Thy Kingdom. Should Thy heavenly confirmations surround us, each one of us can be a luminous star, otherwise we become lower than dust. O God, help us; make us victorious; assist us to overcome self and desire; and deliver us from the world of nature. O God! Quicken us through the breaths of the Holy Spirit so that we may arise to serve Thee, engage ourselves in worshipping Thee and broadcast the signs of Thy Kingdom with utmost truthfulness and sincerity. Thou art the Powerful, the Mighty, the Generous and the Compassionate. (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, New York, December 3, 1912, ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)

The real and great love is the love of God. That is holy above the imaginations and thoughts of men. (’Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
November 27
My
name is 'Abdu'l-Bahá. My qualification is 'Abdu'l-Bahá. My reality is
'Abdu'l-Bahá. My praise is 'Abdu'l-Bahá. Thraldom to the Blessed Perfection is
my glorious and refulgent diadem, and servitude to all the human race my
perpetual religion... No name, no title, no mention, no commendation have I,
nor will ever have, except 'Abdu'l-Bahá. This is my longing. This is my
greatest yearning. This is my eternal life. This is my everlasting glory.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, quoted by Shoghi Effendi, ‘The World Order of Baha'u'llah’)
November 26
I am
the lamp and the love of God is my light. This light hath become reflected in
the mirrors of hearts. Therefore turn thou unto thy heart, that is, when it is
in the utmost freedom, and behold how the radiance of my love is manifest in
that mirror, and thou art near unto me. Recite the Greatest Name at every morn,
and turn thou unto the Kingdom of ABHA, until thou mayest apprehend my
mysteries. (‘Abdu'l-Baha, Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha vol. 3)
November 25
Wherefore, O beloved of the Lord, strive ye with heart and
soul to receive a share of His holy attributes and take your portion of the
bounties of His sanctity—that ye may become the tokens of unity, the standards
of singleness, and seek out the meaning of oneness; that ye may, in this garden
of God, lift up your voices and sing the blissful anthems of the spirit. Become
ye as the birds who offer Him their thanks, and in the blossoming bowers of
life chant ye such melodies as will dazzle the minds of those who know. Raise
ye a banner on the highest peaks of the world, a flag of God’s favour to ripple
and wave in the winds of His grace; plant ye a tree in the field of life, amid
the roses of this visible world, that will yield a fruitage fresh and sweet. (‘Abdu’l-Baha,
‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)

In the world of existence physical things have a connection
with spiritual realities. One of these things is the voice, which connects
itself with the spirit; and the spirit can be uplifted by this means -- for
though it is a physical thing, it is one of the material, natural organizations
-- therefore, it is effective. (Words of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, quoted by to Mary L. Lucas
in "A Brief Account of My Visit to Acca" (Chicago: Bahá'í Publishing
Society, 1905); The Compilation of Compilations vol II) (To read the entire

Moses was for a long time a shepherd in the wilderness.
Regarded outwardly, He was a Man brought up in a tyrannical household, and was
known among men as One Who had committed a murder and become a shepherd. By the
government and the people of Pharaoh He was much hated and detested.
It was such a Man as this that freed a great nation from the chains of captivity, made them contented, brought them out from Egypt, and led them to the Holy Land.
This people from the depths of degradation were lifted up to the height of glory. They were captive; they became free. They were the most ignorant of peoples; they became the most wise. As the result of the institutions that Moses gave them, they attained a position which entitled them to honor among all nations, and their fame spread to all lands, to such a degree indeed that among surrounding nations if one wished to praise a man one said, “Surely he is an Israelite.” Moses established laws and ordinances; these gave life to the people of Israel, and led them to the highest possible degree of civilization at that period.
To such a development did they attain that the philosophers of Greece would come and acquire knowledge from the learned men of Israel. Such an one was Socrates, who visited Syria, and took from the children of Israel the teachings of the Unity of God and of the immortality of the soul. After his return to Greece, he promulgated these teachings. Later the people of Greece rose in opposition to him, accused him of impiety, arraigned him before the Areopagus, and condemned him to death by poison. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Some Answered Questions’)

Centuries, nay ages, must pass away ere the Day-Star of
Truth shineth again in its mid-summer splendor, or appeareth once more in the
radiance of its vernal glory... How thankful must we be for having been made in
this Day the recipients of so overwhelming a favor! Would that we had ten
thousand lives that we might lay them down in thanksgiving for so rare a
privilege, so high an attainment, so priceless a bounty! (‘Abdu’l-Baha, quoted
by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The World Order of Baha’u’llah’)
November 21
… for in this cycle of Baha’u’llah verbal confessions and
acknowledgments, literal faith and certainty and external relations are of no
avail. Nay, rather, the beloved of God and the maid-servants of the Merciful
must manifest such attributes and ethical conduct as to embody and personify the
teachings of Baha’u’llah. They must promulgate the law of the Kingdom with
deeds and not words. Thus may they become the quintessence of being, the signs
of the Kingdom of God, standards of the Supreme Concourse. May ye be salutary
water for the thirsty, an evidence of guidance for the seeker, protection and
support for the helpless, a shelter and home for the wanderers, the treasury of
the Kingdom for the poor; the source of hope and happiness for the
disappointed; the remedy of the heart and soul for the ailing. May you manifest
the utmost of kindness to the human race; to weep with him who mourneth and to
laugh with him who rejoiceth; sympathizing with the helpless; in communion with
the wanderer; a friend to the friend and foe. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, from a Tablet to
‘The beloved of God in America’, Star of the West, vol. 1, no. 4, May 17, 1910)
November 20
The most vital duty, in this day, is to purify your
characters, to correct your manners, and improve your conduct. The beloved of
the Merciful must show forth such character and conduct among His creatures,
that the fragrance of their holiness may be shed upon the whole world, and may
quicken the dead, inasmuch as the purpose of the Manifestation of God and the
dawning of the limitless lights of the Invisible is to educate the souls of
men, and refine the character of every living man—so that blessed individuals,
who have freed themselves from the murk of the animal world, shall rise up with
those qualities which are the adornings of the reality of man. The purpose is
that earthlings should turn into the people of Heaven, and those who walk in darkness should come into the light, and those
who are excluded should join the inner circle of the Kingdom, and those who are
as nothing should become intimates of the everlasting Glory. (’Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections
from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
November 19
I hope that you will be under the protection of God, will
succeed in rendering service to humanity and will always be a source of
happiness to every heart. The best person is he who wins all hearts and is not
the cause of grief to anyone. The worst of souls is he who causes hearts to be
agitated and who becomes the cause of sadness. Always endeavor to make people
happy and their hearts joyful so that you may become the cause of guidance to
mankind. Proclaim the Word of God and diffuse the divine fragrances. (Words of
‘Abdu’l-Baha, Denver, Colorado, September 26, 1912; Mahmud’s Diary)
November 18
In the days of Bahá’u’lláh, during the worst times in the
Most Great Prison, they would not permit any of the friends either to leave the
Fortress or to come in from the outside. “Skew-Cap” [Áqá Ján. Cf. Shoghi
Effendi, God Passes By, p. 189] and the Siyyid [Siyyid Muhammad, the Antichrist
of the Bahá’í Revelation. Cf. God Passes By, pp. 164 and 189] lived by the
second gate of the city, and watched there at all times, day and night.
Whenever they spied a Bahá’í traveler they would hurry away to the Governor and
tell him that the traveler was bringing in letters and would carry the answers
back. The Governor would then arrest the traveler, seize his papers, jail him,
and drive him out. This became an established custom with the authorities and
went on for a long time—indeed, for nine years until, little by little, the
practice was abandoned. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Memorials of the Faithful’)
November 17
The darkness of error that has enveloped the East and the
West is, in this most great cycle, battling with the light of Divine Guidance.
Its swords and its spears are very sharp and pointed; its army keenly
bloodthirsty. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of Divine
Justice)
November 16
Should the fire of the love of God be kindled in Greenland,
all the ice of that country will be melted, and its cold weather become
temperate—that is, if the hearts be touched with the heat of the love of God,
that territory will become a divine rose garden and a heavenly paradise, and
the souls, even as fruitful trees, will acquire the utmost freshness and
beauty. Effort, the utmost effort, is required. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Tablets of the
Divine Plan’)
November 15
Tell the socialists that sharing of property and land in
this mortal world is the source of strife and warfare but sharing and inheritance
in the Kingdom is the cause of love and unity. If you put your efforts into
understanding the precepts of the Kingdom instead of into acquiring worldly
shares and rights, you will gain perpetual joy and happiness. The Kingdom of
God is vast. He will give you whatever you desire and there will be no place
for strife and conflict. Is this not preferable and more pleasing? (‘Abdu’l-Baha’s
words to a socialist during His travels in North America, June 1, 1912, Mahmud’s Diary)
November 14
The beloved of the Lord must stand fixed as the mountains,
firm as impregnable walls. Unmoved must they remain by even the direst
adversities, ungrieved by the worst of disasters. Let them cling to the hem of
Almighty God, and put their faith in the Beauty of the
Most High; let them lean on the unfailing help that cometh from the Ancient
Kingdom, and depend on the care and protection of the generous Lord. Let them
at all times refresh and restore themselves with the dews of heavenly grace,
and with the breaths of the Holy Spirit revive and renew themselves from moment
to moment. Let them rise up to serve their Lord, and do all in their power to
scatter His breathings of holiness far and wide. Let them be a mighty fortress
to defend His Faith, an impregnable citadel for the hosts of the Ancient
Beauty. Let them faithfully guard the edifice of the Cause of God from every
side; let them become the bright stars of His luminous skies. For the hordes of
darkness are assailing this Cause from every direction, and the peoples of the
earth are intent on extinguishing this evident Light. And since all the
kindreds of the world are mounting their attack, how can our attention be
diverted, even for a moment? Assuredly be cognizant of these things, be
watchful, and guard the Cause of God. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections from the
Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)

This exile [of Abraham] became the cause of the progress of
the descendants of Abraham, and the Holy Land was given to them. As a result
the teachings of Abraham were spread abroad, a Jacob appeared among His
posterity, and a Joseph who became ruler in Egypt. In consequence of His exile
a Moses and a being like Christ were manifested from His posterity, and Hagar
was found from whom Ishmael was born, one of whose descendants was Muhammad. In
consequence of His exile the Báb appeared from His posterity, [The Báb’s
descent was from Muhammad] and the Prophets of Israel were numbered among the
descendants of Abraham. And so it will continue for ever and ever. Finally, in
consequence of His exile the whole of Europe and most of Asia came under the
protecting shadow of the God of Israel. See what a power it is that enabled a Man
Who was a fugitive from His country to found such a family, to establish such a
faith, and to promulgate such teachings. Can anyone say that all this occurred
accidentally? We must be just: was this Man an Educator or not?
Since the exile of Abraham from Ur to Aleppo in Syria produced this result, we must consider what will be the effect of the exile of Bahá’u’lláh in His several removes from Tihrán to Baghdád, from thence to Constantinople, to Rumelia and to the Holy Land. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Some Answered Questions’)

The Blessed Perfection, Bahá’u’lláh, belonged to the
nobility of Persia. From earliest childhood He was distinguished among His
relatives and friends. They said, “This child has extraordinary power.” In
wisdom, intelligence and as a source of new knowledge, He was advanced beyond
His age and superior to His surroundings. All who knew Him were astonished at
His precocity. It was usual for them to say, “Such a child will not live,” for
it is commonly believed that precocious children do not reach maturity. During
the period of youth the Blessed Perfection did not enter school. He was not
willing to be taught. This fact is well established among the Persians of Ṭihrán. Nevertheless, He was capable
of solving the difficult problems of all who came to Him. In whatever meeting,
scientific assembly or theological discussion He was found, He became the
authority of explanation upon intricate and abstruse questions presented. (Words
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘The Promulgation of Universal Peace: Talks Delivered by 'Abdu'l-Bahá during His Visit to the United States
and Canada in 1912’)
November 11
O servant of God! We have noted what thou didst write to
Jináb-i-Ibn-‘Abhar, and thy question regarding the verse: ‘Whoso layeth claim
to a Revelation direct from God, ere the expiration of a full thousand years,
such a man is assuredly a lying impostor.’
The meaning of this is that any individual who, before the expiry of a full thousand years—years known and clearly established by common usage and requiring no interpretation—should lay claim to a Revelation direct from God, even though he should reveal certain signs, that man is assuredly false and an impostor.
This is not a reference to the Universal Manifestation, for it is clearly set forth in the Holy Writings that centuries, nay thousands of years, must pass on to completion, before a Manifestation like unto this Manifestation shall appear again.
It is possible, however, that after the completion of a full thousand years, certain Holy Beings will be empowered to deliver a Revelation: this, however, will not be through a Universal Manifestation. Wherefore every day of the cycle of the Blessed Beauty is in reality equal to one year, and every year of it is equal to a thousand years.
Consider, for example, the sun: its transit from one zodiacal sign to the next occurreth within a short period of time, yet only after a long period doth it attain the plenitude of its resplendency, its heat and glory, in the sign of Leo. It must first complete one full revolution through the other constellations before it will enter the sign of Leo again, to blaze out in its full splendour. In its other stations, it revealeth not the fullness of its heat and light. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)

O my Lord, no words do I find to glorify Thee; no way do I
see for the bird of my mind to soar upward to Thy Kingdom of Holiness; for
Thou, in Thy very essence, art sanctified above those tributes, and in Thy very
being art beyond the reach of those praises which are offered Thee by the
people that Thou hast created. In the sanctity of Thine own being hast Thou
ever been exalted above the understanding of the learned among the Company on
high, and forever wilt Thou remain enwrapped within the holiness of Thine own
reality, unreached by the knowledge of those dwellers in Thine exalted Kingdom
who glorify Thy Name. (’Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
November 9
The spiritual love of God maketh man pure and holy and
clotheth him with the garment of virtue and purity. And when man attacheth his
heart wholly to God and becometh related to the Blessed Perfection, the divine
bounty will dawn. This love is not physical, nay, rather, it is absolutely
spiritual. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
November 8
Among the Hands of the Cause of God who have departed this life and ascended to the Supreme Horizon was Jináb-i-Ismu’lláhu’l-Asdaq. Another was Jináb-i-Nabíl-i-Akbar. Still others were Jináb-i-Mullá ‘Alí-Akbar and Jináb-i-Shaykh Muḥammad-Riḍáy-i-Yazdí. Again, among others, was the revered martyr, Áqá Mírzá Varqá. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, Memorials of the Faithful)

The magnanimity of man must be heavenly or, in other words,
it must be assisted by the divine confirmation, so that he may become the cause
of the illumination of the world of humanity. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Tablets of the
Divine Plan)
November 6
God maketh no distinction between the white and the black. If the hearts are pure both are acceptable unto Him. God is no respecter of persons on account of either color or race. All colors are acceptable unto Him, be they white, black, or yellow. Inasmuch as all were created in the image of God, we must bring ourselves to realize that all embody divine possibilities. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)

As to you, O ye loved ones of God! Loose your tongues and offer Him thanks; praise ye and glorify the Beauty of the Adored One, for ye have drunk from this purest of chalices, and ye are cheered and set aglow with this wine. Ye have detected the sweet scents of holiness, ye have smelled the musk of faithfulness from Joseph’s raiment. Ye have fed on the honey-dew of loyalty from the hands of Him Who is the one alone Beloved, ye have feasted on immortal dishes at the bounteous banquet table of the Lord. This plenty is a special favour bestowed by a loving God, these are blessings and rare gifts deriving from His grace. In the Gospel He saith: ‘For many are called, but few are chosen.’ [Matthew 22:14] That is, to many is it offered, but rare is the soul who is singled out to receive the great bestowal of guidance. ‘Such is the bounty of God: to whom He will He giveth it, and of immense bounty is God.’ [Qur’án 57:21] (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha)

He is God!
O My Shoghi, I have no time to talk, leave me alone! You said ‘write’ - I have written. What else should be done? Now is not the time for you to read and write, it is the time for jumping about and chanting "O My God!", therefore memorize the prayers of the Blessed Beauty and chant them that I may hear them, because there is no time for anything else. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, Shoghi Effendi’s first Tablet from ‘Abdu’l-Baha, quoted by Ruhiyyih Khanum in ‘The Priceless Pearl’)
November 3
The highest station, the supreme sphere, the noblest, most sublime position in creation, whether visible or invisible, whether alpha or omega, is that of the Prophets of God, notwithstanding the fact that for the most part they have to outward seeming been possessed of nothing but their own poverty. In the same way, ineffable glory is set apart for the Holy Ones and those who are nearest to the Threshold of God, although such as these have never for a moment concerned themselves with material gain. Then comes the station of those just kings whose fame as protectors of the people and dispensers of Divine justice has filled the world, whose name as powerful champions of the people’s rights has echoed through creation. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, ‘The Secret of Divine Civilization’)
November 2
One of those Who possessed this power [divine power] and was assisted by it was Abraham. And the proof of it was that He was born in Mesopotamia, and of a family who were ignorant of the Oneness of God. He opposed His own nation and people, and even His own family, by rejecting all their gods. Alone and without help He resisted a powerful tribe, a task which is neither simple nor easy. It is as if in this day someone were to go to a Christian people who are attached to the Bible, and deny Christ; or in the Papal Court—God forbid!—if such a one were in the most powerful manner to blaspheme against Christ and oppose the people.
These people believed not in one God but in many gods, to whom they ascribed miracles; therefore, they all arose against Him, and no one supported Him except Lot, His brother’s son, and one or two other people of no importance. At last, reduced to the utmost distress by the opposition of His enemies, He was obliged to leave His native land. In reality they banished Him in order that He might be crushed and destroyed, and that no trace of Him might be left.

O army of God! Through the protection and help vouchsafed by the Blessed Beauty—may my life be a sacrifice to His loved ones—ye must conduct yourselves in such a manner that ye may stand out distinguished and brilliant as the sun among other souls. Should any one of you enter a city, he should become a center of attraction by reason of his sincerity, his faithfulness and love, his honesty and fidelity, his truthfulness and loving-kindness towards all the peoples of the world, so that the people of that city may cry out and say: ‘This man is unquestionably a Bahá’í, for his manners, his behavior, his conduct, his morals, his nature, and disposition reflect the attributes of the Bahá’ís.’ Not until ye attain this station can ye be said to have been faithful to the Covenant and Testament of God. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
