Question: "Why so much evil in the world?"
‘Abdu’l-Baha: "God has created a remedy for every
disease. One must apply the remedy. Now these patients run away from the expert
Physician. They neglect Him. Under inexperienced physicians they get worse. The
words of the religious leaders have no influence, no effect. These physicians
are more diseased than their patients. The spiritual leaders now have no faith,
though they claim to have faith in order to secure their positions."
- 'Abdu'l-Baha (Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, recorded by Ann Kunz, Haifa, 1921; Star of the West,
vol. 13, no. 6, September 1922)
