Motivational Monday: Eighteenth Day of Fast
Kamál (Perfection), 18 ‘Alá’ Loftiness - Monday, March 19, 2018
Eighteenth Day of Fast

"The purpose of religion ... is to establish unity and concord amongst the peoples of the world; make it not the cause of dissension and strife."
Baha'u'llah1

Poem Written on the Eighteenth Day of Fast

We call God by different names,
and think that because each religion
has different designations
for the Almighty,
that they are talking about a different god.

God,
the All-Knowing Creator,
is a single unknowable essence,
with many titles.

The attributes of the creator
is reflected to humanity
through the Mirrors of Divine Manifestation.

There is only one God,
the foundation of religion
is one,
the numerous faiths
are chapters
in the Book of Divine Revelation.
