Words and more

Month, Day: Words, Sovereignty (Justice)

The Seven Valleys And the Four Valleys

Pg 29: The tongue faileth in describing these three Valleys, and speech falleth short. The pen steppeth not into this region, the ink leaveth only a blot. In these planes, the nightingale of the heart hath other songs and secrets, which make the heart to stir and the soul to clamor, but this mystery of inner meaning may be whispered only from heart to heart, confided only from breast to breast.

Pg 50: The story is told of a mystic knower, who went on a journey with a learned grammarian as his companion. They came to the shore of the Sea of Grandeur. The knower straightway flung himself into the waves, but the grammarian stood lost in his reasonings, which were as words that are written on water.

Pg 54: The denizens of this plane speak no words -- but they gallop their chargers. They see but the inner reality of the Beloved. To them all words of sense are meaningless, and senseless words are full of meaning.

The Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh Part II -- From the Persian

#69: O CHILDREN OF ADAM! Holy words and pure and goodly deeds ascend unto the heaven of celestial glory.

#76: O SON OF MY HANDMAID! Guidance hath ever been given by words, and now it is given by deeds.

Remarks:

Meditation on Words, and all related aspects, during this month has been fruitful in terms of how blogging can be used to support truth. Yet, the blog is never sufficient, not unlike prayer needing action.
