Spirituality
O thou who art assured in God! . . . Verily thy Lord will strengthen thee in great spirituality and cause thy heart to overflow with the gifts of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá v1, p. 121-122
Thank God our desire is for spirituality and for union with God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, ‘Abdu’l-Bahá in London, p. 46
Thus, spirituality is the greatest of God's gifts, and 'Life Everlasting' means 'Turning to God'. May you, one and all, increase daily in spirituality, may you be strengthened in all goodness, may you be helped more and more by the Divine consolation, be made free by the Holy Spirit of God, and may the power of the Heavenly Kingdom live and work among you. This is my earnest desire, and I pray to God to grant you this favour.
- ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks, p. 111-112
Quote of the Day
Idal 17 Ala 182 B.E.
In the Holy Writings of former religions we read how Moses heard the voice of God through the Burning Bush or how the Dove descended upon Christ or how Muhammad received His Revelation through the Angel Gabriel. All these are different symbols of the same entity, the Holy Spirit, which acts as an intermediary between God and His Manifestations.
