He [‘Abdu’l-Baha] has commanded us not to be content with
lowliness, humility and meekness, but rather to become manifestations of
selflessness and utter nothingness.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 19 December 1923 to the Bahá'ís of the East - translated from the
Persian; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II, Living the Life)
