Every
universal matter is from God; and limitations are from man. Therefore, if
people's services and efforts are undertaken for the benefit of all, they are
acceptable to God and leave lasting traces. Otherwise, every other effort is
limited and transitory.
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words
of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, October 13, 1912, San Francisco, USA, recorded by Mahmud
Zarqani; ‘Mahmud’s Diary’)
