The Chosen Highway – Words from Abdu’l-Baha

July 15, 2023, in Videos > Quotations, by

The following passage is from Abdu’l-Baha as quoted in Star of the West (August 1913):

I am walking in my chosen highway; I know the destination. Hundreds of storms and tempests may rage furiously around my head; hundreds of Titanics may sink to the bottom of the sea, the mad waves may rise to the roof of heaven; all these will not change my purpose, will not disturb me in the least; I will not look either to the right or to the left; I am looking ahead, far, far. Piercing through the impenetrable darkness of the night, the howling winds, the raging storms, I see the glorious Light beckoning me forward, forward. The balmy weather is coming, and the voyager shall land safely.

We have a whole playlist of animated videos featuring quotations from Baha’i and Baha’i-inspired written works read aloud.
