Baháʼu'lláh Quotes

LXI. El mundo padece y su agitación aumenta día a día. Su rostro se ha vuelto hacia el descarrío y la incredulidad. Tal será su condición, que exponerla ahora no sería apropiado ni correcto. Su perversidad continuará por largo tiempo. Y cuando llegue la hora señalada, aparecerá súbitamente aquello que hará temblar los miembros del cuerpo de la humanidad. Entonces, y sólo entonces, será desplegado el Estandarte Divino, y el Ruiseñor del Paraíso gorjeará su melodía. LXII.

En palabras de Bahá'u'lláh: »El bienestar de la humanidad, su paz y seguridad serán inalcanzables hasta que su unidad esté firmemente establecida«.

O CHILDREN OF MEN! Know ye not why We created you all from the same dust? That no one should exalt himself over the other. Ponder at all times in your hearts how ye were created. Since We have created you all from one same substance it is incumbent on you to be even as one soul, to walk with the same feet, eat with the same mouth and dwell in the same land, that from your inmost being, by your deeds and actions, the signs of oneness and the essence of detachment may be made manifest. Such is My counsel to you, O concourse of light! Heed ye this counsel that ye may obtain the fruit of holiness from the tree of wondrous glory.

O SON OF MAN! Be thou content with Me and seek no other helper. For none but Me can ever suffice thee.
