SPIRITUAL KNOWLEDGE

If thou wishest the divine knowledge and recognition,

'Abdu'l-Bahá · Bahá'í World Faith

'Abdu'l-Bahá's ministry (1892–1921) · 1 min

If thou wishest the divine knowledge and recognition, purify thy heart from all beside God, be wholly attracted to the ideal, beloved One; search for and choose Him and apply thyself to rational and authoritative arguments. For arguments are a guide to the path and by this the heart will be turned unto the Sun of Truth.

And when the heart is turned unto the Sun, then the eye will be opened and will recognize the Sun through the Sun itself. Then man will be in no need of arguments (or proofs), for the Sun is altogether independent, and absolute independence is in need of nothing, and proofs are one of the things of which absolute independence has no need. Be not like Thomas; be thou like Peter.

I hope you will be healed physically, mentally and spiritually.
