Bahá’í Explorations

This passage from “The Hidden Words of Bahá’u’lláh” reflects a central theme in the Bahá’í faith, which emphasizes trust in divine wisdom and acceptance of God’s will. It encourages individuals to refrain from seeking desires that may not align with what is divinely ordained. Instead, it suggests contentment with what has been provided, as this is ultimately beneficial. This teaching promotes a sense of gratitude and trust in the divine plan, encouraging believers to find peace and fulfillment in accepting what they have, rather than yearning for what may not be in their best interest. It is a gentle reminder of the spiritual growth that comes from aligning one’s will with the divine.

O Son of Spirit!

Ask not of Me that which We desire not for thee, then be content with what We have ordained for thy sake, for this is that which profiteth thee, if therewith thou dost content thyself.
