Enjoyments
The Baha'i teaching is based on moderation, not on asceticism. Enjoyment of the good and beautiful things of life, both material and spiritual, is not only encouraged but enjoined. Baha'u'llah says: "Deprive not yourselves of that which has been created for you." Again He says: "It is incumbent upon you that exultation and glad tidings be manifest in your faces." (69:3)
