The Hidden Words of Bahá'u'lláh
Arabic - Verse 1
"O SON OF SPIRIT!
My first counsel is this: Possess a pure, kindly and radiant heart, that thine may be a sovereignty ancient, imperishable and everlasting."
Arabic - Verse 2
"O SON OF SPIRIT!
The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee."
Arabic - Verse 5
"O SON OF BEING!
Love Me, that I may love thee. If thou lovest Me not, My love can in no wise reach thee. Know this, O servant."
Persian - Verse 12
"O MAN OF TWO VISIONS!
Close one eye and open the other. Close one to the world and all that is therein, and open the other to the hallowed beauty of the Beloved."
From the Gleanings
"The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens. Let not a man glory in this, that he loves his country; let him rather glory in this, that he loves his kind."
"So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth."
— Bahá'u'lláh
