Maturity depends on…

O thou whose years are few, yet whose mental gifts are many! How many a child, though young in years, is yet mature and sound in judgement! How many an aged person is ignorant and confused! For growth and development depend on one’s powers of intellect and reason, not on one’s age or length of days.

(Abdu’l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu’l-Baha, p. 142)

Process of Becoming a Baha’i

The process of becoming a Baha’i is necessarily slow and gradual. The essential is not that the beginner should have a full and detailed knowledge of the Cause, a thing which is obviously impossible in the vast majority of cases, but that he should, by an act of his own will, be willing to uphold and follow the truth and guidance set forth in the Teachings, and thus open his heart and mind to the reality of the Manifestation.

(Shoghi Effendi, Directives from the Guardian, p. 8)

A Special Father’s Day
