The Reality of Love

Five quotes from Reality...

No comment, this time, from me...

"O SON OF MAN! For everything there is a sign. The sign of love is fortitude under My decree and patience under My trials."

Bahá’u’lláh: The Hidden Words, Arabic #48

"'Love is a light that never dwelleth in a heart possessed by fear.'"

Bahá’u’lláh quoting "mystic knowers": The Seven Valleys and The Four Valleys, Fourth Valley of Four, p. 58

"O SON OF BEING! Love Me, that I may love thee. If thou lovest Me not, My love can in no wise reach thee. Know this, O servant."

Bahá’u’lláh: The Hidden Words, Arabic #5

"My love is in thee, know it, that thou mayest find Me near unto thee."

Bahá’u’lláh: The Hidden Words, Arabic #10

"O SON OF LOVE! Thou art but one step away from the glorious heights above and from the celestial tree of love. Take thou one pace and with the next advance into the immortal realm and enter the pavilion of eternity. Give ear then to that which hath been revealed by the pen of glory."

Bahá’u’lláh: The Hidden Words, Persian #7
