There’s a deep spiritual hunger in the world - an epidemic of emotional/spiritual heart disease, a profound sense of loneliness, isolation and alienation but the medicine is right there inside each one of us!

“Love ye all religions and all races with a love that is true and sincere and show that love through deeds...”
― Abdu'l-Bahá

“Love the creatures for the sake of God and not for themselves. You will never become angry or impatient if you love them for the sake of God. Humanity is not perfect. There are imperfections in every human being, and you will always become unhappy if you look toward the people themselves. But if you look toward God, you will love them and be kind to them, for the world of God is the world of perfection and complete mercy. Therefore, do not look at the shortcomings of anybody; see with the sight of forgiveness. The imperfect eye beholds imperfections. The eye that covers faults looks toward the Creator of souls.”
-Abdu’l-Baha
