Bahá'u'lláh quotes
Bahá'u'lláh was a Persian religious leader and the founder of the Bahá'í Faith. His teachings emphasized the unity of all people and religions. He is regarded by Bahá'ís as the latest in a line of prophets bringing God's message to humanity. Here are 27 of his quotes:
God's purpose in sending His Prophets unto men is twofold. The first is to liberate the children of men from the darkness of ignorance, and guide them to the light of true understanding. The second is to ensure the peace and tranquillity of mankind, and provide all the means by which they can be established.
Bahá'u'lláh
Hear no evil, and see no evil, abase not thyself, neither sigh and weep. Speak no evil, that thou mayest not hear it spoken unto thee, and magnify not the faults of others that thine own faults may not appear great; and wish not the abasement of anyone, that thine own abasement be not exposed.
Bahá'u'lláh
How puny and insignificant is the evanescent drop when compared with the waves and billows of God's limitless and everlasting Ocean, and how utterly contemptible must every contingent and perishable thing appear when brought face to face with the uncreated, the unspeakable glory of the Eternal!
Bahá'u'lláh
Wherefore, if those who have come to the sea of His presence are found to possess none of the limited things of this perishable world, whether it be outer wealth or personal opinions, it mattereth not. For whatever the creatures have is limited by their own limits, and whatever the True One hath is sanctified therefrom; this utterance must be deeply pondered that its purport may be clear.
Bahá'u'lláh
They who soar in the heaven of singleness and reach to the sea of the Absolute, reckon this city-which is the station of life in God-as the furthermost state of mystic knowers, and the farthest homeland of the lovers. But to this evanescent One of the mystic ocean, this station is the first gate of the heart's citadel, that is, man's first entrance to the city of the heart; and the heart is endowed with four stages, which would be recounted should a kindred soul be found.
Bahá'u'lláh
These journeys have no visible ending in the world of time, but the severed wayfarer-if invisible confirmation descend upon him and the Guardian of the Cause assist him-may cross these seven stages in seven steps, nay rather in seven breaths, nay rather in a single breath, if God will and desire it. And this is of "His grace on such of His servants as He pleaseth.”.
Bahá'u'lláh
In this Valley, the wayfarer leaveth behind him the stages of the "oneness of Being and Manifestation” and reacheth a oneness that is sanctified above these two stations. Ecstasy alone can encompass this theme, not utterance nor argument; and whosoever hath dwelt at this stage of the journey, or caught a breath from this garden land, knoweth whereof We speak.
