Quote by Shoghi Effendi

The more we search for ourselves, the less likely we are to find ourselves; and the more we search for God, and serve our fellow-men, the more profoundly will we become acquainted with ourselves, and the more inwardly assured. This is one of the great spiritual laws of life.

Summary

This quote suggests that inner self-discovery is not found through selfish self-searching, but rather through selflessness and serving others.

It emphasizes the importance of looking outside of ourselves to find true meaning and fulfillment within.

A villain must be a thing of power, handled with delicacy and grace. He must be wicked enough to excite our aversion, strong enough to arouse our fear, human enough to awaken some transient gleam of sympathy. We must triumph in his downfall, yet not barbarously nor with contempt, and the close of his career must be in harmony with all its previous development.

Its more than a simple belief that there is good and that it should fight the evil in the world. It's a personification of Light and Darkness at their most elemental level, as forces that are so absorbed with themselves that one cannot exist without the other though they constantly try to consume one another.
