Bahá’í Explorations

This quote from ‘Abdu’l-Bahá emphasizes the spiritual practice of surrendering one’s personal desires and will to align with the divine will of God. It suggests a deeper commitment to faith and a conscious choice to set aside individual ambitions in favor of a higher, spiritual purpose. By doing so, individuals can cultivate a closer relationship with the divine, fostering peace, guidance, and fulfillment in their lives. This act of devotion and submission is seen as a pathway to spiritual growth and enlightenment, encouraging believers to trust in the wisdom and plan of the divine.

Commit thyself to God; give up thy will and choose that of God; abandon thy desire and lay hold on that of God
