…another sacred duty is that of clinging to the cord of
moderation in all things, lest they who are to be the essence of detachment and
moderation be deluded by the trappings of this nether world or set their hearts
on its adornments and waste their lives.
- The Universal House of Justice (From
a message dated 10 February 1980, addressed to the Iranian believers resident
in other countries throughout the world, translated from Persian; ‘Messages
from the Universal House of Justice 1963-1986’)
