Tonight I am going to look at the final question regarding my main character, Abdu'l-Baha. I plan to study how he would decide whether or not to trust someone. When someone first made a promise to Abdu'l-Baha, he would trust them to carry out their promise. However, if later they kept breaking any promise that they had made, then Abdu'l-Baha would not keep trusting them.
Abdu'l-Baha understood that the spiritual development of a person can not proceed as it should, if he or she is allowed to act in an untrustworthy manner. Therefore, he would put his greatest trust in those who he knew to be trustworthy.
Naturally, Abdu'l-Baha put a tremendous amount of trust in God. In fact, his grandson, who grew up seeing the trust of his grandfather, offered some advice about prayer and trust. He said that whenever someone arises from a moment of prayer, then he or she should trust in God to answer that prayer.
