To attain eternal happiness one must suffer. He who has reached the state of self-sacrifice has true joy. Temporal joy will vanish.
Abdu'l-BaháReligion should unite all hearts and cause wars and disputes to vanish from the face of the earth; it should give birth to spirituality, and bring light and life to every soul. If religion becomes a cause of dislike, hatred and division, it would be better to be without it... Any religion which is not a cause of love and unity is no religion.
Abdu'l-BaháGod has created us all humanHe is kind & just to all. Why should we be unkind & unjust to each other?
Abdu'l-Bahá
