THE LOVE OF AN ALL-EMBRACING HEART

116

Ye were created to show love one to another and not perversity and rancor. Take pride not in

love for yourselves but in love for your fellow-creatures. Glory not in love for your country, but
in love for all mankind.

Bahá’u’lláh, Tablets of Bahá’u’lláh Revealed after the Kitáb-i-Aqdas, p 138

117

In one of the Tablets these words have been revealed: O people of God! Do not busy yourselves

in your own concerns; let your thoughts be xed upon that which will rehabilitate the fortunes

of mankind and sanctify the hearts and souls of men. This can best be achieved through pure

and holy deeds, through a virtuous life and a goodly behavior. Valiant acts will ensure the
triumph of this Cause, and a saintly character will reinforce its power. Cleave unto

righteousness, O people of Bahá! This, verily, is the commandment which this wronged One
hath given unto you, and the rst choice of His unrestrained Will for every one of you.

Bahá’u’lláh , Gleanings From the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh XLIII

118

…let your heart burn with loving kindness for all who may cross your path.
