Dear friends,

So gaze with divine insight into the horizons of the supreme knowledge and into the souls of the perfect words of eternity, that all the mysteries of the spiritual wisdom may appear without "veils of glory" and become manifest from behind the covering of favor and bounty. The contradictions of people and their controversies have resulted wholly from their lack of knowledge and understanding. For example, they could not comprehend and attain to the truth of the explanations given by the beautiful Countenances of the True One concerning the signs of the subsequent Manifestation. Notwithstanding this they have sought interpretation of the Book from the people of veils and did not acquire knowledge from its fountainhead. For instance, when the day of Moses had passed and the lights of Jesus pervaded the world from the dawn of spirit, the Jews objected that the one who is promised in the Pentateuch must promote and fulfil the laws of the Pentateuch, whereas this youth of Nazareth who calls himself the Messiah of God hath abolished the laws of divorce and of the Sabbath, which are the greatest laws of Moses; and moreover the signs of  8  the Manifestations have not yet appeared. Thus the Jews are still expecting the appearance recorded in the Pentateuch. How many of the holy Manifestations of Unity and Dawning-places of the Light of Eternity have appeared since Moses in the world of creation, while the Jews have been and are still veiled by their satanic, egotistical veils and their selfish erroneous opinions! They still await the time when this fictitious temple will appear according to their understanding of the given signs. Consequently God hath punished them for their sin, stripped them of the spirit of faith and caused them to suffer the fire in the depths of hell on account of their ignorance of the texts recorded in the Pentateuch concerning the signs of the subsequent Manifestation. Since they did not understand the reality of these signs and as such things did not outwardly appear, they were therefore deprived of the beauty of Jesus, did not attain to the meeting of God and were of those who await. Thus the nations by their adherence to similar inventions arising from improper notions, have deprived themselves of the pure, clear and flowing fountains.

(Compilations, Baha'i Scriptures)

Dear friends,

O Inmost Heart of this Temple! We have made thee the dawning-place of Our knowledge and the  36  dayspring of Our wisdom unto all who are in heaven and on earth. From thee have We caused all sciences to appear, and unto thee shall We cause them to return. And from thee shall We bring them forth a second time. Such, indeed, is Our promise, and potent are We to effect Our purpose. Erelong shall We bring into being through thee exponents of new and wondrous sciences, of potent and effective crafts, and shall make manifest through them that which the heart of none of Our servants hath yet conceived. Thus do We bestow upon whom We will whatsoever We desire, and thus do We withdraw from whom We will what We had once bestowed. Even so do We ordain whatsoever We please through Our behest.

(Baha'u'llah, The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, p. 30)

Believers, he added, must show their belief in their daily lives,
so that the world might see the light shining in their faces.
A bright and happy face cheers people on their way.
If you are sad, and pass a child who is laughing,
the child, seeing your sad face, will cease to laugh, not knowing why.
If the day be dark, how much a gleam of sunshine is prized;
so let believers wear smiling happy faces, gleaming like sunshine in the darkness.
Let the Light of Truth and Honesty shine from them,
so that all who behold them may know that their word in business or pleasure
will be a word to trust and depend upon.


(Abdu'l-Baha, Abdu'l-Baha in London, p. 122)

O My servants! My holy, My divinely ordained Revelation may be likened unto an ocean
in whose depths are concealed innumerable pearls of great price, of surpassing luster.
It is the duty of every seeker to bestir himself and strive to attain the shores of this ocean,
so that he may, in proportion to the eagerness of his search and the efforts he hath exerted, partake of such benefits as have been pre-ordained in God's irrevocable and hidden Tablets.
If no one be willing to direct his steps towards its shores,
if every one should fail to arise and find Him,
can such a failure be said to have robbed this ocean of its power or to have lessened,
to any degree, its treasures?




(Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 325)

A drop of the billowing ocean of His endless mercy
hath adorned all creation with the ornament of existence,
and a breath wafted from His peerless Paradise
hath invested all beings with the robe of His sanctity and glory.
A sprinkling from the unfathomed deep of His sovereign and all-pervasive Will hath,
out of utter nothingness,
called into being a creation which is infinite in its range and deathless in its duration.
The wonders of His bounty can never cease,
and the stream of His merciful grace can never be arrested.
The process of His creation hath had no beginning, and can have no end.   


(Baha'u'llah, Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 60)
