Bahá’í Explorations

This passage from Bahá’u’lláh’s “The Hidden Words” eloquently highlights the paramount importance of justice in the spiritual journey. Bahá’u’lláh emphasizes that justice is not merely a social or legal principle, but a divine attribute bestowed by God. It is the foundation upon which individuals can develop true understanding and discernment, enabling them to see the world with clarity and insight, independently of others’ perceptions or biases. By embracing justice, one aligns with divine will and demonstrates loving-kindness towards others. This teaching encourages self-reflection and a commitment to fairness in all aspects of life, serving as a guiding principle for personal and spiritual growth. The passage calls for the reader to constantly keep justice at the forefront of their actions and decisions, as it is a cherished gift from the divine.

O Son of Spirit!

The best beloved of all things in My sight is Justice; turn not away therefrom if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not that I may confide in thee. By its aid thou shalt see with thine own eyes and not through the eyes of others, and shalt know of thine own knowledge and not through the knowledge of thy neighbor. Ponder this in thy heart; how it behooveth thee to be. Verily justice is My gift to thee and the sign of My loving-kindness. Set it then before thine eyes.
