Meditation on Seven Devine Attributes: To 'Abdu'l-Baha
Meditation on Seven Divine Attributes:
To 'Abdu'l-Baha

Inspired by the English translations of the days of the week of the Baha'i calendar: Glory, Beauty, Perfection, Grace, Justice, Majesty, and Independence.

It was the aroma of spirituality
that accompanied him
to every function
he attended
and in his daily efforts
to help the poor
and the disenfranchised.

He was the flawless mirror
reflecting to humanity
the attributes of divinity
that Baha'u'llah
showered upon him
from the spiritual realm.

Through word and action
he proclaimed the Glory of God1
from east to west.

He spread the teachings
of the Blessed Beauty2,
by demonstrating spiritual perfection,
as the Perfect Exemplar of
Baha'u'llah's revelation.

He displayed grace
in the prayers he reveals,
through the talks he gave,
and the books he wrote.

In God's sight,
the best beloved of all things
is justice,
which 'Abdu'l-Baha
practiced in all his dealings
with his fellow man.

In servitude to humanity,
he revealed
the essence of majesty.

He showed us
what independence
of all save God
is.
