Counsels from 'Abdu'l-Baha...

This morning, I received these counsels from 'Abdu'l-Baha from my Dad (Thank you papi-joon) and felt compelled to share them with you!
It's not something very easy to do when you are in pain and been hurt by loved ones, but.... for the Love of God, everything is possible... well at least we can try to forgive, forget and try again....

The text is same for both English and French and it reads:

"If thou wishes to guide the souls, it is incumbent on thee to be firm, to be good and to be imbued with praiseworthy attributes and divine qualities under all circumstances. Be a sign of love, a manifestation of mercy, a fountain of tenderness, kind-hearted, good to all and gentle to the servants of God, and especially to those who bear relation to thee, both men and women. Bear every ordeal that befalleth thee from the people and confront them not save with kindness, with great love and good wishes."
(Tablets of 'Abdu'l-Baha, pp 619-620)

"Si vous souhaitez guider les âmes, il vous incombe d'être ferme, bon et, en toutes circonstances, doué d'attributs dignes d'éloges et de qualités divines. Soyez un emblème d'amour, une manifestation de miséricorde, une source de tendresse et d'amabilité, bon pour tous et attentionné à l'égard des serviteurs de Dieu, et spécialement envers vos proches, les femmes aussi bien que les hommes. Acceptez chaque épreuve occasionnée par les autres et ne croisez personne sans amabilité, réelle affection et bon vouloir."
(Sélection des écrits d'Abdu'l-Baha)
