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.
- Baha'u'llah (‘The
Hidden Words of Baha’u’llah’)
The effect of "pure and goodly deeds"
The betterment of the world can be accomplished through pure
and goodly deeds, through commendable and seemly conduct.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted
by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Advent of Divine Justice’)
The most glorious fruit of the tree of knowledge
The most glorious fruit of the tree of knowledge is this
exalted word: Of one tree are all ye the fruit, and of one bough the leaves.
Let not man glory in this that he loveth his country, let him rather glory in
this that he loveth his kind.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed
after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
Education of children
He that bringeth up his son or the son of another, it is as
though he hath brought up a son of Mine; upon him rest My Glory, My
Loving-Kindness, My Mercy, that have compassed the world.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets
of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
Worlds of God
Know thou of a truth that the worlds of God are countless in
their number, and infinite in their range. None can reckon or comprehend them
except God, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
- Baha'u'llah (‘Gleanings from the
Writings of Baha'u'llah’)
