Meditation: A Poem

Fidal (Grace), 13 Ilm (Knowledge) 177 B.E. - Tuesday, October 27, 2020

"Meditate profoundly, that the secret of things unseen may be revealed unto you, that you may inhale the sweetness of a spiritual and imperishable fragrance, and that you may acknowledge the truth that from time immemorial even unto eternity the Almighty hath tried, and will continue to try, His servants, so that light may be distinguished from darkness, truth from falsehood, right from wrong, guidance from error, happiness from misery, and roses from thorns."

Baha'u'llah123

Moments of silence
strengthen the connection
between mind,
body,
and soul.

Prayer and meditation
inseparable partners
on my spiritual journey:
in prayer I commune with God,
and In meditation of commune
with my own spirit.
