Morning
That the heart is the throne, in which the Revelation of God
the All-Merciful is centered, is attested by the holy utterances which We have
formerly revealed.
Among them is this saying: “Earth and heaven cannot contain Me; what can alone contain Me is the heart of him that believeth in Me, and is faithful to My Cause.” How often hath the human heart, which is the recipient of the light of God and the seat of the revelation of the All-Merciful, erred from Him Who is the Source of that light and the Well Spring of that revelation. It is the waywardness of the heart that removeth it far from God, and condemneth it to remoteness from Him. Those hearts, however, that are aware of His Presence, are close to Him, and are to be regarded as having drawn nigh unto His throne.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
Evening
Great is the station of man. Great must also be his
endeavours for the rehabilitation of the world and the well-being of nations. I
beseech the One true God to graciously confirm thee in that which beseemeth
man’s station.
Be thou guided by wisdom under all conditions, inasmuch as persons who harbour evil motives have been and are still diligently engaged in intriguing.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
