[Baha’u’llah and the New Era by J.E. Esslemont]@TWC D-Link bookBaha’u’llah and the New Era CHAPTER 5: WHAT IS A BAHA'I 14/30
In the path of God no errors can appall, no troubles dismay him.
The light of love irradiates his darkest days, transmutes suffering into joy, and martyrdom itself into an ecstasy of bliss.
Life is lifted to the heroic plane and death becomes a glad adventure.
Baha'u'llah says:-- He that hath in his heart even less than a mustard seed of love for anything beside Me, verily he cannot enter My Kingdom .-- Suratu'l-Haykal O Son of Man! If thou lovest Me, turn away from thyself; and if thou seekest My pleasure, regard not thine own; that thou mayest die in Me and I may eternally live in thee. O My Servant! Free thyself from the fetters of this world, and loose thy soul from the prison of self.
Seize thy chance, for it will come to thee no more .-- The Hidden Words. Obedience Devotion to God involves implicit obedience to His revealed Commands even when the reason for these Commands is not understood.
