Tuesday Thoughts and Contemplations for May 23, 2017

Fiḍál (Grace), 8 ‘Aẓamat (Grandeur) 174 Badi - Tuesday, May 23, 2017 CE
Declaration of the Bab

"The understanding of His words and the comprehension of the utterances of the Birds of Heaven are in no wise dependent upon human learning. They depend solely upon purity of heart, chastity of soul, and freedom of spirit."1

Bahá’u’lláh

In the above quote, "the Birds of Heaven" refer to the Manifestations of God2. This quot suggest that it isn't what we learn in school or from a teacher that helps us understand the sacred scriptures, but rather spiritual attributes. In order, to understand the verses revealed by God through His Manifestations we must strive to attain these spiritual characteristics.
