We must be patient with others, infinitely patient!, but
also with our poor selves, remembering that even the Prophets of God sometimes
got tired and cried out in despair! .. He urges you to persevere and add up
your accomplishments, rather than to dwell on the dark side of things.
Everyone's life has both a dark and bright side. The Master said: ‘turn your
back to the darkness and your face to me.’
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated September 22,
1929, written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; ‘The
Unfolding Destiny of the British Baha'i Community’)
