If some one commits an error and wrong toward you, you must
instantly forgive him. Do not complain of others. Refrain from reprimanding
them, and if you wish to give admonition or advice, let it be offered in such a
way that it will not burden the bearer. Turn all your thoughts toward bringing
joy to hearts. Beware! Beware! lest ye offend any heart. Assist the world of
humanity as much as possible. Be the source of consolation to every sad one,
assist every weak one, be helpful to every indigent one, care for every sick
one, be the cause of glorification to every lowly one, and shelter those who
are overshadowed by fear.
- ‘Abdu'l-Baha (From a talk; ‘The Promulgation of Universal
Peace’)
