Aims and ambitions of Bahá'ís...
- Pity and
good-will towards all mankind.
- The
rendering of service to humanity.
- To guide
and enlighten hearts.
- Each
member must try to be kind to everyone and to show forth great affection
towards every living soul.
- Humility
towards God and constant prayer to Him so as to be enabled to grow daily
"Nearer God".
- Always in
every word and action to be faithful and sincere, so that each member may be
known to the world as embodying the qualities of Sincerity, Faith, Kindness,
Love, Generosity and Bravery. That we
may be detached from all that is not God, attracted by the Heavenly Breath,
divine beings - so that the world may know that a Bahá'í is a perfect being.
