Strive Thine Utmost to Become Godlike
“Strive thine utmost to become godlike, characterized with His attributes, illumined and merciful, that thou mayest be freed from every bond and become attached at heart to the Kingdom of the incomparable Lord.”
I hope that in this nether world thou shalt attain unto
heavenly light, thou wilt free the souls from the gloom of nature,
which is the animal kingdom, and cause them to reach lofty stations
in the human kingdom. Today all people are immersed in the world of
nature. That is why thou dost see jealousy, greed, the struggle for
survival, deception, hypocrisy, tyranny, oppression, disputes,
strife, bloodshed, looting and pillaging, which all emanate from the
world of nature.

Few are those who have been freed from this
darkness, who have ascended from the world of nature to the world of
man, who have followed the divine Teachings, have served the world of
humanity, are resplendent, merciful, illumined and like unto a rose
garden. Strive thine utmost to become godlike, characterized with His
attributes, illumined and merciful, that thou mayest be freed from
every bond and become attached at heart to the Kingdom of the
incomparable Lord.

This is Bahá’í bounty, and
this is heavenly light.
