Morning
Verily I say, the human soul is exalted above all egress and
regress. It is still, and yet it soareth; it moveth, and yet it is still. It
is, in itself, a testimony that beareth witness to the existence of a world
that is contingent, as well as to the reality of a world that hath neither
beginning nor end. Behold how the dream thou hast dreamed is, after the lapse
of many years, re-enacted before thine eyes. Consider how strange is the
mystery of the world that appeareth to thee in thy dream. Ponder in thine heart
upon the unsearchable wisdom of God, and meditate on its manifold
revelations....
Witness the wondrous evidences of God’s handiwork, and reflect upon its range and character. He Who is the Seal of the Prophets hath said: “Increase my wonder and amazement at Thee, O God!”
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
Evening
As to thy question whether the physical world is subject to any limitations, know thou that the comprehension of this matter dependeth upon the observer himself. In one sense, it is limited; in another, it is exalted beyond all limitations. The one true God hath everlastingly existed, and will everlastingly continue to exist. His creation, likewise, hath had no beginning, and will have no end. All that is created, however, is preceded by a cause. This fact, in itself, establisheth, beyond the shadow of a doubt, the unity of the Creator.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
