The inebriation of Thy presence, O Well-Beloved of all worlds, hath seized and possessed me.
The inebriation of Thy presence, O Well-Beloved of all worlds, hath seized and possessed me.
Arise, and proclaim unto the entire creation the tidings that He Who is the All-Merciful hath directed His steps towards the Ridvan and entered it. Guide, then, the people unto the garden of delight which God hath made the Throne of His Paradise. We have chosen thee to be our most mighty Trumpet, whose blast is to signalize the resurrection of all mankind.
Say: This is the Paradise on whose foliage the wine of utterance hath imprinted the testimony: "He that was hidden from the eyes of men is revealed, girded with sovereignty and power!" This is the Paradise, the rustling of whose leaves proclaims: "O ye that inhabit the heavens and the earth! There hath appeared what hath never previously appeared. He Who, from everlasting, had concealed His Face from the sight of creation is now come." From the whispering breeze that wafteth amidst its branches there cometh the cry: "He Who is the sovereign Lord of all is made manifest. The Kingdom is God's," while from its streaming waters can be heard the murmur: "All eyes are gladdened, for He Whom none hath beheld, Whose secret no one hath discovered, hath lifted the veil of glory, and uncovered the countenance of Beauty."
Baha'u'llah
I really love this one. At first I don't understand it so I read it once again and high five for this one.

Hi. Sorry to be off-topic but I've had a eurika moment and need to get a debate going.
I believe the Ark of the Covenant is housed in the Kaaba in Mecca and was originally found my muslims in a cave in Mount Sinai, which I also believe was in Saudi. This would explain the origins of Islam and the loss of the Ark.
Please keep watching my blog for more updates...http://ohmyvolcano.blogspot.com

You as are many others taking the Ark of the covenant literally. If there is a physical "ark" its existence is insignificant. The Covenant referred to in the writings refers to God's latest revelation to Mankind The Baha'i revelation. The Covenant is God's promise that this Faith will be protected (there will be no break-offs, sects established). The center of the Covenant is the perfect exemplar for Mankind Abdu'l Baha. The "Ark" that everyone looks for is actually the World center of this Faith built on "The Mountain of God" Mount Carmel in Haifa, The Holy Land. If you are truly seeking "The Ark" look there and nowhere else. You will find it there.
