By verse[edit]

p. 93 - "Be...an answerer to the cry of the needy"[edit]

Bahá’u’lláh Exhorts Man to Try to Develop His Dormant Qualities[edit]

"The passage in the 'Epistle to the Son of the Wolf' in which Bahá’u’lláh says: 'Give that which is asked of you' means that man must always try to develop and reveal the qualities that are to be found potentially in him. It is an urge to self-improvement and individual progress, and has, therefore, no connection with that passage in the 'Aqdas' wherein Bahá’u’lláh forbids mendicity."

(From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer, March 8, 1936, in Lights of Guidance, no. 1586)

Notes[edit]

  • The passage in the Aqdas forbidding mendicity (begging) may be par. 147 or possibly par. 33.
  • See Barstow BC#401 for an exact reference to this line (attributed as being a Tablet to Mirza Badi'u'llah cited in Epistle to the Son of the Wolf ).
