From: Daily Verses
of God
Know ye that trials and tribulations have, from time
immemorial, been the lot of the chosen Ones of God and His beloved, and such of
His servants as are detached from all else but Him, they whom neither
merchandise nor traffic beguile from the remembrance of the Almighty, they that
speak not till He hath spoken, and act according to His commandment. Such is
God's method carried into effect of old, and such will it remain in the
future.... (Baha’u’llah, ‘Gleanings from the Writings
of Bahá'u'lláh’; The Compilation of Compilations vol. I, Crisis and Victory)
