Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh by Bahá'u'lláh
"Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh" by Bahá'u'lláh is a compilation of spiritual and philosophical texts authored in the late 19th century. This work serves as a collection of essential teachings, insights, and reflections from the founder of the Bahá'í Faith, addressing the nature of God, the purpose of creation, and the importance of unity among humanity. The writings emphasize the transformative power of divine revelation and the role of individuals in
recognizing and embodying these principles. The opening of the text establishes a profound reverence for the divine, highlighting the limitations of human language in capturing the essence of God. It introduces key concepts such as the knowledge of God being fundamental to understanding existence and the significance of the Revelation as a guiding light for humanity. Bahá'u'lláh speaks directly to seekers, urging them to break free from ignorance and strive for unity, love, and service to others in anticipation of a divine era of tranquility and justice. This initial portion sets the tone for a deeper exploration of spiritual truths and encourages reflection on the state of the world in relation to these teachings.
