Regarding the passage on p. 163 of the 'Gleanings': The creatures which Bahรก'u'llรกh states to be found on every planet cannot be considered to be necessarily similar or different from human beings on this earth. Bahรก'u'llรกh does not specifically state whether such creatures are like or unlike us. He simply refers to the fact that there are creatures on every planet. It remains for science to discover one day the exact nature of these creatures.
Shoghi EffendiOur past is not the thing that matters so much in this world as what we intend to do with the future.
Shoghi EffendiWe must not only be patient with others, infinitely patient, but also with our own poor selves.
Shoghi EffendiThe troubles of this world pass, and what we have left is what we have made of our souls, so it is to this we must look to becoming more spiritual, drawing nearer to God, no matter what our human minds and bodies go through.
