...When thou art disdained and rejected by the wicked doers
be not cast down; and at the power and stiffneckedness of the presumptuous be
neither vexed nor sick at heart; for such is the way of heedless souls, from
time out of mind. ‘O the misery of men! No Messenger cometh unto them but they
laugh Him to scorn!’ [ Qur’án 36:29]
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the
Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
