I just read this quote from Shoghi Effendi, and it really struck me. I do not recall reading it before. It kind of blew me away though.
“The more we search for ourselves, the less likely we are to find ourselves; and the more we search for God, and to 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.”
I think essentially it can be construed with a couple passages in Baha'u'llah's Hidden words that I will mention probably in response to this post if no one else beats me to it.
