The leaders of the various Baha'i groups who claim to be the 'CHOSEN"
leaders in the Baha;i Faith in general fail to show much humility,
which is an essential virtue--------
Verily, through meekness, man is elevated to the heaven of power; and
again, pride degrades him to the lowest station of humiliation and
abasement. (Compilations, Baha'i Scriptures, p. 148)
We are all poor at His Door, weak before His Power, lowly at His
Threshold, and we possess the power 315 of neither good nor harm. He
is indeed the Confirmer, the Strengthener, the Benevolent! (Abdu'l-
Baha, Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha v2, p. 314)
Verily I supplicate God to confirm thee in that which He desireth, to
protect thee from conceit and self-exaltation and from selfish
concerns, to make thee devoted unto Him and resigned unto Him
(Abdu'l-Baha, Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha v1, p. 137)
If thou art seeking everlasting glory, choose humility in the path of
the True One.
(Abdu'l-Baha, Tablets of Abdu'l-Baha v1, p. 214)
.. O SON OF MAN!
Transgress not thy limits, nor claim that which beseemeth thee not.
Prostrate thyself before the countenance of thy God, the Lord of might
and power. (Baha'u'llah, The Arabic Hidden Words)
