Question—What are the "seventy-two degrees of insanity" spoken of by BAHA'O'LLAH?
Answer—One is to forfeit possessions, to forfeit estates. One is to forego name, honor, fame. One is to forsake relatives, station. Et cetera [ended Abdul-Baha, laughing], et cetera, et cetera. Each one of these is a distinct insanity!
