EXTRACT (lightly adapted for readability and shared courtesy of the Baha'i World Centre):

"No matter how easy or luxurious [life] may be made, it still brings in its wake inevitable hardship and struggle. 

We must recognise that under duress great things are born. Diamonds form in molten rock. The sweetest flowers of man's spirit have often been watered by tears. To struggle gives strength, to endure breeds a greater capacity for endurance. 

We must not run away from our heartbreaks in life; we must go through them, however fiery they may be, and bring with us out of the fire a stronger character, a deeper reliance on ourselves and on the Creator… 

Love, hate, passion, fear, sorrow, pain—they act on us and spur us on, they develop our qualities and give us colour and individuality. Why should we want to shun and abolish [that which brings] out the best in us, that tempers our steel, that teaches us to value happiness at its true worth? Can a man who has never been hungry in all his life know what a piece of bread means, savour all its sweetness, as can a man who has starved?

We are not expected to like suffering […] but we should, when the cup is at our lips and we have no choice but to drink it, drink it down strongly and courageously, knowing it will hurt but strengthen, wound but eventually heal...

We must also accept the fact that there are some things in this life we are not going to be able to understand here and now. They are mysteries either too profound, or denied us to comprehend in this world. 

But it is given to us to understand certain things […] God, with all that term implies, cannot be unjust any more than He can be unloving. Nothing could be more unjust or unkind than to set a man an impossible task, to require of him something beyond his strength to do. 

The trials that come to us in life come to test our strength and to exercise and perfect it. We are not set tasks that we cannot accomplish, we are not tyrannized over by God. … He sets the hurdle a little higher because He knows we are now ready to make that jump if we try, and what is more, He will help us. 

The Friend of the soul of man is there and He wants us to win, to grow strong, to be worthy of the heritage He has prepared for us; He is therefore ready to lend a helping hand if we call Him; if we fling out ours towards His, He will grasp it firmly."

Infinite Love by Shay & Camila

"Infinite Love" by Shay & Camila

LISTEN CLOSER

Verse 1
This voice is telling me to wear these clothes
Play these roles, keep that exposed
But we know, we have more to show
Yeah we know, what to keep and what to let go 

What you wearing there looking like expired tags
All these people round you holding their designer bags
When you wear that ‘no name’ is what we think of you 
We buy expensive clothes, treat it like a pay per view 

Who you hanging with, you could do better
You either don’t care, or you’re a go getter 
Come and join the gossip, so and so’s the new topic 
Cut ‘em off, join us, that’s some good logic 

This voice is telling me to live for pleasure 
Strive for leisure, give into pressure
But we need something of meaning to measure 
When we hear truth, that’s the real treasure 

Pre-chorus
I seem to accept what don’t feel right 
Gotta take steps to be drawn to the light 
I see the truth behind the words
What is said is only half of what I heard 

Chorus x 2
Listen closer, listen for the meaning 
Question words, to see how I’m feeling 
I know truth, when it’s spoken
Keep my guard up, but keep my mind open 

Verse 2
This voice is telling me, we have to divide 
It’s us and them, we have to take sides 
We keep an open mind, to tell truth from lies 
A truth we know, hate can never hide 

Come over here, you gotta listen closely
Those people aren’t like you, not even remotely
I got something to say, and it isn’t a distraction
Fuelling all that fear, just to see your reaction 

Don’t act all mighty, taking your high road 
Those people are dangerous, that’s something we all know
I’m the undercurrent causing chaos and confusion 
I’m that subtle sound telling you that you’re losing 

The volume’s getting louder, distracting from my purpose 
Making up my mind, cause the truth is worth it
These fabricated facts, are what shake us 
But we realise, it’s the differences that make us 

Pre-chorus
I seem to accept what don’t feel right 
Gotta take steps to be drawn to the light 
I see the truth behind the words
What is said is only half of what I heard 

Chorus x 2
Listen closer, listen for the meaning 
Question words, to see how I’m feeling 
I know truth, when it’s spoken
Keep my guard up, but keep my mind open

Bridge
C’mon take it! 
I’m not sure no more
It’s what you wanted! 
It’s not what I asked for 
You’ll regret it! 
How are you so sure?
Just take it! 
…. No.

Chorus x 3 
Listen closer, listen for the meaning 
Question words, to see how I’m feeling 
I know truth, when it’s spoken
Keep my guard up, but keep my mind open

Keep my guard up, but keep my mind open x 2
