Bahá’í Explorations

This heartfelt prayer, by Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Bahá’í Faith, reflects a deep yearning for spiritual purity and divine grace. It is a plea for transformation and renewal, seeking a heart that is as pure and radiant as a pearl. In many spiritual traditions, the heart symbolizes the core of one’s being, the seat of emotions, and the center of spiritual life. By asking for a heart “like unto a pearl,” the prayer emphasizes the desire for inner beauty, purity, and enlightenment, qualities that are valued in the pursuit of a closer connection to the divine. This supplication resonates with those who seek to transcend worldly concerns and align themselves with spiritual virtues and the presence of God.

He is God! O God my God! Bestow upon me a pure heart, like unto a pearl.
