It behoveth you to seek agreement and to be united; it behoveth you to be in close communion one with the other, at one both in body and soul, till ye match the Pleiades or a string of lustrous pearls. Thus will ye be solidly established; thus will your words prevail, your star shine out, and your hearts be comforted.... ~ Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 85 |

They call me first among the crazed, Though I once came first for wit and worth. O Love, who sellest me this wine, O Love, for whom I burn and bleed, Love, for whom I cry and pine -- Thou the Piper, I the reed. If Thou wishest me to live, Through me blow Thy holy breath. The touch of Jesus Thou wilt give To me, who've lain an age in death. Thou, both End and Origin, Thou without and Thou within -- From every eye Thou hidest well, And yet in every eye dost dwell. (From an Ode of Rumi) ~ Abdu'l-Baha, Memorials of the Faithful, p. 30 |
