One Of My Favourite ‘Hidden Words’

O SON OF BEING! How couldst thou forget thine own faults and busy thyself with the faults of others? Whoso doeth this is accursed of Me.

Bahá’u'lláh

The ‘Hidden Words’ of Bahá’u'lláh

Almost every morning and evening for the last twenty-four years I have read a verse or two from the ‘Hidden Words’ of Bahá’u'lláh. It is a mine of spiritual gems ( and also provides  the title of this blog). Bahá’u'lláh wrote in His preamble to the ‘Hidden Words’ that

‘…This is that which hath descended from the realm of glory, uttered by the tongue of power and might, and revealed unto the Prophets of old. We have taken the inner essence thereof and clothed it in the garment of brevity, as a token of grace unto the righteous, that they may stand faithful unto the Covenant of God, may fulfill in their lives His trust, and in the realm of spirit obtain the gem of Divine virtue’. 

I would recommend anyone who feels the need for spiritual inspiration to read the beautiful verses of the ‘Hidden Words.’
