Erelong the evidences of this regeneration will be revealed, and the fast asleep will be awakened.” (The World Order of Bahá’u’lláh) www.bahai.org/r/771401011

May the publication of this volume contribute to a deeper appreciation of the mystical dimensions of Bahá’u’lláh’s Message and inspire a greater zeal and fervour in raising the celestial call of the Divine Beloved: “For whereas in days past every lover besought and searched after his Beloved, it is the Beloved Himself Who now is calling His lovers and is inviting them to attain His presence.”7. Bahá’u’lláh, Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, CLI, ¶ 2. https://www.bahaibookstore.com/Search.aspx?k=The+call+of+the+Divine+Beloved
- Baha’u’llah’s Revelation affirms that the purpose of our lives is to know God and to attain His presence. Our true identity is our rational soul, whose free will and powers of understanding enable us to continually better ourselves and our society.
