Reading The Call of the Divine Beloved
Istiqlál (Independence), 10 Jalál (Glory) 177 B.E. Friday, April 17, 2020

The Call of the Divine Beloved:
Selected Mystical Works of Baha'u'llah

“For whereas in days past every lover besought and searched after his Beloved, it is the Beloved Himself Who now is calling His lovers and is inviting them to attain His presence.”
Baha'u'llah12

The mystical works in this book are
         The poem Rashḥ-i-‘Amá (The Clouds of the Realms Above)
         The Seven Valleys
         From the Letter Bá’ to the Letter Há’
         Three Other Tablets
         The Four Valleys


I finished the preface last night. I'm working on a poem inspired by the quote at the beginning of this entry.

Listen
to the call of the Beloved
echoing through the atmosphere
calling His lovers
to His presence.
