March 12, Day 12
In an effort at some self-reflection and search for spiritual inspiration I came across this quote by ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, the son of Bahá’u’lláh, who was the founder of the Baha'i Faith. Enjoy.
"Fortunate are ye to have obeyed the commandment of God, and kept this fast during the holy season. For this material fast is an outer token of the spiritual fast; it is a symbol of self-restraint, the withholding of oneself from all appetites of the self, taking on the characteristics of the spirit, being carried away by the breathings of heaven and catching fire from the love of God."I enjoy the landscapes of the prairies. The little churches that dot the countryside make for great backdrops.
The opinions and views expressed in this blog are mine only, or of those who submitted, and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of any institution of the Baha’i Faith. I recommend go right to the source. A good resource is a Baha'i Teachings website.
