Obedience: To 'Abdu'l-Baha
Obedience:
To 'Abdu'l-Baha

“Let us try to understand the commands of the Most High and to order our lives as He directs.”
'Abdu'l-Baha12

The epitome of acquiescence,
quintessence of understanding God's Will,
lived in accordance with the Divine Word.

He was a hollow reed, empty of self,
through which the Holy Spirit played love's song;
the epitome of acquiescence.

First to recognize Baha'u'llah's station,
a candle lit by God's Manifestation;
quintessence of understanding God's Will.

Unwavering in his certitude
he proclaimed divine unity to all:
lived in accordance with the Divine Word.
