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.’
(From a letter
dated September 22, 1929, written on behalf of the Guardian to an individual
believer; ‘The Unfolding Destiny of the British Baha'i Community’)
