O SON OF MAN!

Be thou content with Me and seek no other helper. For none but Me can ever suffice thee.

" ... be content with what We have ordained for thy sake ..."

 

O SON OF SPIRIT!

Ask not of Me that which We desire not for thee, then be content with what We have ordained for thy sake, for this is that which profiteth thee, if therewith thou dost content thyself.

(Bahá'u'lláh, The Hidden Words, #18 Arabic)

"I have breathed within thee a breath of My own Spirit ..."

 

O SON OF THE WONDROUS VISION!

I have breathed within thee a breath of My own Spirit, that thou mayest be My lover. Why hast thou forsaken Me and sought a beloved other than Me?

O SON OF SPIRIT!

My claim on thee is great, it cannot be forgotten. My grace to thee is plenteous, it cannot be veiled. My love has made in thee its home, it cannot be concealed. My light is manifest to thee, it cannot be obscured.

"Return then unto that which is better for thee in the realm on high."

 

O SON OF MAN!

Upon the tree of effulgent glory I have hung for thee the choicest fruits, wherefore hast thou turned away and contented thyself with that which is less good? Return then unto that which is better for thee in the realm on high.

(Bahá'u'lláh, The Hidden Words, #21 Arabic)

"Noble have I created thee ..."

 

O SON OF SPIRIT!

Noble have I created thee, yet thou hast abased thyself. Rise then unto that for which thou wast created.

"To the eternal I call thee ..."

O SON OF THE SUPREME!

To the eternal I call thee, yet thou dost seek that which perisheth. What hath made thee turn away from Our desire and seek thine own?
