“The Condition of the World” by Serene, Nadine and Daryan

We’re excited to share a song called “The Condition of the World” by Serene, Nadine and Daryan as part of our informal Living Room Sessions music series.

The song is based on a passage from a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi:

“He urges you to make up your minds to do great, great deeds for the Faith; the condition of the world is steadily growing worse, and your generation must provide the saints, heroes, martyrs and administrators of future years. With dedication and will power you can rise to great heights.” – Lights of Guidance, p. 629
