Does the Bahai Faith mention the 6th Noble Path: Right Effort ?


“Success or failure, gain or loss, must, therefore, depend upon man’s own exertions. The more he striveth, the greater will be his progress.”

~ Baha’u’llah, Gleanings, no. XXXIV, p. 81


“Arise, therefore, and, with the whole enthusiasm of your hearts, with all the eargerness of your souls, the full fervour of your will, and the concentrated efforts of your entire being, strive to attain the paradise of His presence… and to obtain a portion of this perfume of celestial glory.”

~ Baha’u’llah, Gleanings, no. CLI, p. 320


“Our greatest efforts must be directed towards detachment from the things of the world; we must strive to become more spiritual, more luminous, to follow the counsel of the Divine Teaching, to serve the cause of unity and true equality…”

~ Abdu’l-Baha, Paris Talks, p. 87
