..It is the same with all the natural qualities of man, which constitute the capital of life; if they be used and displayed in an unlawful way, they become blameworthy. Therefore it is clear that creation is purely good. - Some Answered Questions, pp. 250, 251. (126:3) Evil is always lack of life. If the lower side of man's nature is disproportionately developed, the remedy is not less life for that side, but more life for the higher side, so that the balance may be restored. "I am come," said Christ, "that ye may have life and that ye may have it more abundantly." That is what we all need - life, more life, the life that is life indeed! Baha'u'llah's message is the same as Christ's. "Today," He says, "this servant has assuredly come to vivify the world" (Tablet to Ra'is), and to His followers He says: "Come ye after Me, that We may make you to become quickeners of mankind." (Tablet to the Pope.)
(126:4)
