“Recite ye the verses of God every morn and eventide.” (Bahá’u’lláh, ‘The Kitáb-i-Aqdas’)
November 29
Say: O people! Spread not disorder on the earth nor dispute
with your fellow men, for this would ill beseem them that occupy, beneath the
shadow of their Lord, the station of such as are faithful to the one true God.
Whensoever ye encounter a thirsty soul, give him to drink from the cup of
everlasting life; and whensoever ye find a hearing ear, recite unto him the
verses of God, the Powerful, the Mighty, the Compassionate. Unloose your
tongues with kindly words and, should ye find the people inclined towards the
Sanctuary of God, summon them to the truth; otherwise leave them to their own
selves and to that condition which is the reality of the nethermost fire.
Beware lest ye cast the pearls of inner meaning before the blind and the barren
in heart, inasmuch as they are deprived of beholding the light and are unable
to distinguish the worthless pebble from the precious and gleaming pearl. Wert
thou for a thousand years to recite unto a stone the verses of wondrous glory,
would it ever be affected by them or comprehend their significance? Nay, by thy
Lord, the All-Merciful, the Most Compassionate! Wert thou to recite unto the
deaf all the verses of God, would they hear a single letter thereof? Nay, by His
ancient and glorious Beauty!
