“...aims and ambitions” that each Baha’i should strive for - identified by ‘Abdu’l-Baha:
- To show compassion and
goodwill to all mankind.
- To render service to
humanity.
- To endeavour to guide and
enlighten those in darkness.
- To be kind to everyone, and
show forth affection to every living soul.
- To be humble in your
attitude towards God, to be constant in prayer to Him, so as to grow daily
nearer to God.
- To be so faithful and
sincere in all your actions that every member may be known as embodying the
qualities of honesty, love, faith, kindness, generosity, and courage.
- To be detached from all
that is not God, attracted by the Heavenly Breath—a divine soul; so that the
world may know that a Bahá’í is a perfect being.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, 6 November 1911,
Paris; ‘Paris Talks’)
