"In this Day the secrets of the earth are laid bare before the eyes of men. The pages of swiftly-appearing newspapers are indeed the mirror of the world[,] endowed with hearing, sight and speech. This is an amazing and potent phenomenon."
- Bahá'u'lláh, ToB 39
This blog attempts to identify spiritual aspects of the reality we inhabit. It is dedicated to the exemplary life of the towering Figure of the Age, 'Abdu'l-Bahá.
I appreciate your comments!

Photos

Header photo is of Bahá’u’lláh's room in His house in Takur, kept in its original condition (destroyed by the Iranian government in 1981). I chose it for the spirit of simplicity in worldly affairs that it encapsulates, and the corresponding room for expression of spiritual qualities it would allow. Both header photo, that of 'Abdu'l-Bahá and of Bahá'í "Lotus" Temple are copyright Bahá'í International Community.
