It is the wish of 'Abdu'l-Bahá and that which attracts His
good-pleasure, and indeed it is His binding command that Bahá'ís, in all
matters, even in small daily transactions and dealings with others, should act
in accordance with the Divine Teachings. He has commanded us not to be content
with lowliness, humility and meekness but rather to become manifestations of
utter nothingness and selflessness.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (quoted by the Universal
House of Justice in a message dated 10 February 1980 addressed to the Iranian
believers resident in other countries throughout the world)
