    9.WRITING: Gender Equality

    And among the teachings of Bahullh is the equality of

    women and men. The world of humanity has two wingsone

    is women and the other men. Not until both wings are equallydeveloped can the bird fly. Should one wing remain weak, flight

    is impossible. Not until the world of women becomes equal to

    the world of men in the acquisition of virtues and perfections,

    can success and prosperity be attained as they ought to be.

    -Abdul Baha

    of His praise and glory, such humility and submissiveness that

    every atom of the dust beneath their feet may attest the depth

    of their devotion. The conversation carried by these holy

    souls should be informed with such power that these same

    atoms of dust will be thrilled by its influence. They shouldconduct themselves in such 8 manner that the earth upon

    which they tread may never be allowed to address to them

    such words as these: I am to be preferred above you. For

    witness, how patient I am in bearing the burden which the

    husbandman layeth upon me. I am the instrument that

    continually imparteth unto all beings the blessings with which

    He Who is the Source of all grace hath entrusted me.

    Notwithstanding the honor conferred upon me, and the

    unnumbered evidences of my wealtha wealth that supplieth

    the needs of all creationbehold the measure of my humility,

    witness with what absolute submissiveness I allow myself to

    be trodden beneath the feet of men.

    -Bahaullah

    7.WRITING: Kind Words

    A kindly tongue is the lodestone of the hearts of men. It is the

    bread of the spirit, it clotheth the words with meaning, it is the

    fountain of the light of wisdom and understanding.-Bahullh

    .

    8. WRITING: Filial-piety

    The fruits that best befit the tree of human life are

    trustworthiness and godliness, truthfulness and sincerity; but

    greater than all, after recognition of the unity of God, praised

    and glorified be He, is regard for the rights that are due to ones

    parents. -Bahaullah
