SECTION EIGHT
ATTAINMENT TARGET ONE (AT 1)
The Acquisition of a Spiritual and Moral Character devoted to Sacrifice and Service.
This Attainment Target has four strands:
a) Spirituality
"O thou true Friend! Read, in the school of God, the lessons of the spirit ..."
‘Abdu’l-Bahá B.E. (1987) p9
"Good behaviour and high moral character must come first, for unless the character be trained, acquiring knowledge will only prove injurious."
‘ Abdu’l-Bahá B.E. (1987) p29
c) Sacrifice
"Bring them up to work and strive, and accustom them to hardship ..."
‘Abdu’l-Bahá B.E. (1987) p22
"… may all your intentions center in the welfare of humanity and may you seek to sacrifice yourselves in the pathway of devotion to mankind."
‘Abdu’l-Bahá P.U.P. (1982) p54
d) Service
"These Bahá’í children are of such great importance to the future ... and the Cause alone can equip them to properly serve the needs of a future, war-weary, disillusioned, unhappy humanity."
On Behalf of Shoghi Effendi B.E. (1987) p58
