Quote by Baha'u'llah
Exultest thou over the treasures thou dost possess, knowing they shall perish? Rejoicest thou in that thou rulest a span of earth, when the whole world, in the estimation of the people of Bahá, is worth as much as the black in the eye of a dead ant?
Summary
This quote reflects a perspective rooted in humility and detachment from worldly possessions. It questions the notion of finding pride or joy in material wealth or power, as everything in the world is transient and insignificant in comparison to the bigger picture. The analogy of valuing the entire world as no more than a minuscule speck highlights the ephemeral nature of Earthly pursuits and encourages a deeper focus on more enduring and meaningful values.
