I ordered two of them back in May thinking they would be ready for Summer School.. then told to wait until August...Still waiting. Anyone been able to crack the cover of this new book? From the Baha'i Distribution Trust website: Tabernacle of Unity, The Author: Baha'u'llah Product Code: TUH Pages: 94 Package: 1 Hardcover Availability: In stock. Price: $9.00 Qty: Just Arrived! This volume contains Bahá’u’lláh’s Tablet to Mánikchi Sáhib, a Zoroastrian, and its companion Tablet in elaboration, revealed to Mírzá Abu’l-Fadl, the secretary to Mánikchi Sáhib at that time. These, together with three shorter, inspirational Tablets, offer a glimpse of Bahá’u’lláh’s love for, and special relationship with, the followers of a religion that had arisen, many centuries before, in the same land that witnessed the birth of His own Faith. This hard cover edition will be a dark green with gold foil lettering, and includes: a table of contents, introduction, notes and a key to passages. |

Thus were these sublime words revealed by the Pen of the Most High, exalted be His glory, in response to this question: "The Tongue of Wisdom proclaimeth: He that hath Me not is bereft of all things. Turn ye away from all that is on earth and seek none else but am the Sun of Wisdom and the Ocean of Knowledge. I cheer the faint and revive the dead. I am the guiding Light that illumineth the way. I am the royal Falcon on the arm of the Almighty. I unfold the drooping wings of every broken bird and start it on its flight." Consider how clearly the answer hath been revealed from the heaven of divine knowledge. Blessed are those who ponder it, who reflect upon it, and who apprehend its meaning! By the Intellect mentioned above is meant the universal Divine Mind. ...one most search after Him Who is the untimate Source of knowledge and strive to recognize Him. ~ Baha'u'llah in "The Tabernacle of Unity" 2.22-2.23 |

As to him that embraceth the truth and is honoured with recognizing Him, his name shall be recorded in the Crimson Book among the inmates of the all-highest Paradise. Should a soul fail, however, to accept the truth, it is no wise permissible to contend with him... In matters of religion every form of fanaticism, hatred, dissension and strife is strictly forbidden." ~ Baha'u'llah in The Tabernacle of Unity 2.35 Last edited by arthra; 08-17-2006 at 10:01 PM. |

Wherefore revive your souls with the heavenly water that is raining down from the clouds of divine bounty. Words must be followed by deeds. Whoso accepteth the words of the Friend is in truth a man of deeds; otherwise a dead carcass is verily of greater worth." ~ Baha'u'llah The Tabernacle of Divine Unity 4.9 |
