Unfailing Success: To The Bab
Unfailing Success:
To The Bab

"Turn not your religion into a means of material gain, spending your life on vanities, and inheriting thereby on the Day of Resurrection that which would displease Him Whom God shall make manifest, while ye deem that what ye do is right."
The Bab1

Unfailing success
is found in divine virtues
not in self-worship.

Partnered with the physical body,
the soul struggles between
two opposing forces;
struggles to chose
between ego's self-love
and altruism.

Altruism--
pleasing to God
and to His Manifestations--
focuses the soul
on helping humanity
in its quest for salvation
rather than material wealth.
