The Baha'i Studies Listserv Allah-u-abha The Hidden Words is described as the essence of all religions.
O SON OF MAN! Deny not My servant should he ask anything from thee, for his face is My face; be then abashed before Me. http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/b/HW/hw-31.html "A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." Albert Einstein quoted in H. Eves Mathematical Circles Adieu (Boston 1977). http://www.asl-associates.com/einsteinquotes.htm Karen > The Baha'i Studies Listserv > Allah-u-abha, > I am looking for a quote regarding selflessness, more specifically > stressing kindness > and how you're not the only one in the world that has problems, issues and > tests and you should always extend your hand to people in need of > assistance.
