1. Submission to the Will of God
The source of all good is trust in God, submission unto His command, and contentment in His holy will and pleasure.’’ God is All-Knowing. Thus He knows the needs of His servants. If one submits to the will of God and obeys His laws, he walks in the path which leads to health, happiness, and spiritual life.
No man can fully understand his Creator, nor can he always recognize the divine wisdom behind the laws of God. Still he must accept and obey the laws given by the Manifestation of God. Obedience is a source of protection. One’s own spiritual growth and the health of society are safeguarded by obedience to the laws of God.
Baha’ llah says that true freedom comes from submission to His will. Submission and obedience free man from slavery to hatred, prejudice, selfishness, alcohol, drugs, and other snares of the world. They also preserve the dignity and nobility of his station.
