"The temple of man is like unto a mirror, his soul is as the sun, and his mental faculties even as the rays that emanate from that source of light."




" ...These faculties are but the inherent properties of the soul, such as the power of imagination, of thought, of understanding; powers that are the essential requisites of the reality of man, even as the solar ray is the inherent property of the sun. The temple of man is like unto a mirror, his soul is as the sun, and his mental faculties even as the rays that emanate from that source of light. The ray may cease to fall upon the mirror, but it can in no wise be dissociated from the sun."

‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Tablet to Dr. Auguste Forel

  1. Is the temple in this context the body? So the rays of the soul may cease to exert its influence on the body when we identify with our lower nature or egoic mind?
