Bahá’í Explorations

The passage is a beautiful expression of spiritual encouragement from ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, a central figure in the Bahá’í Faith. It speaks to the exalted destiny and joy promised to those who embrace their spiritual path as children of the Kingdom of God. The imagery of lighted lamps and a bountiful spring symbolizes guidance, enlightenment, and sustenance provided through faith. This message conveys a sense of divine favor and assurance, encouraging believers to continue their journey with hope and confidence in the blessings promised by their faith. It serves as a reminder of the spiritual rewards and inner peace that accompany a life devoted to spiritual principles and service.

Blessed are ye, O children of the Kingdom of God! Glad-tidings to ye, O friends of God! as He hath made your destiny great and your share victory and happiness, your lamps lighted and your spring to yield supply!
