The Revelation of Baha'u'llah by Adib Taherzadeh Volumes 1-4

I will be reading a portion of these books everyday until I finish them and I will be posting my thoughts, questions, and lessons learned during my journey. Please comment on anything that inspires you or anything you may have some wisdom to contribute to.

The Leaves of One Tree pg. 12-17

“…I always think of her in those earliest days of my memory as queenly in her dignity and loveliness, full of consideration for everybody, gentle, of a marvellous unselfishness, no action of hers ever failed to show the loving-kindness of her pure heart; her very presence seemed to make an atmosphere of love and happiness wherever she came, enfolding all comers in the fragrance of gentle courtesy.”

- Bahá’íyyih Khanum

We should all strive to be like this. Constantly serving the people we encounter; not only in action, but also in conversation and even thought. According to Baha’u’llah, man’s thoughts are his reality, and if our thoughts do not match our actions, can we be regarded as sincere? I don’t think so.
