Sunday Meditation

An excerpt from Tablets of Baha’u’llah I’m working on memorizing: 

“O peoples of the world!


Forsake all evil, hold fast that which is good. Strive to be shining examples unto all mankind, and true reminders of the virtues of God amidst men. 

He that riseth to serve My Cause should manifest My wisdom, and bend every effort to banish ignorance from the earth. 

Be united in counsel, be one in thought.


Let each morn be better than its eve and each morrow richer than its yesterday.

Man’s merit lieth in service and virtue and not in the pageantry of wealth and riches.

Take heed that your words be purged from idle fancies and worldly desires and your deeds be cleansed from craftiness and suspicion.

Dissipate not the wealth of your precious lives in the pursuit of evil and corrupt affection, nor let your endeavours be spent in promoting your personal interest.

Be generous in your days of plenty, and be patient in the hour of loss. Adversity is followed by success and rejoicings follow woe.

Guard against idleness and sloth, and cling unto that which profiteth mankind, whether young or old, whether high or low.”
