Baha'u'llah & the New Era by -J. Esslemont- 1 Para

"God hath made afflictions as a morning shower to this green pasture, and as a wick for His Lamp, whereby earth and heaven are illumined... Through affliction hath His Light shone and His Praise been bright unceasingly; this hath been His method through past ages and bygone times." (Baha'u'llah) (248:2)
