Meditation on the Power of the Covenant

Meditation on the Power of the Covenant:
To the Blessed Beauty

“It is indubitably clear, that the pivot of the oneness of mankind is nothing else but the power of the Covenant….”
(‘Abdu’l-Bahá, cited in “God Passes By”, pp. 238-39)1

My understanding,
of Baha'u'llah's Revelation,
is limited,
so if a dispute or question
arises about the meaning
--the interpretation--
I need to turn
to the Center of Baha'u'llah's Covenant
for an official explanation.

It is the power of the Covenant
that will protect
from disunity.

It is the Center
of the Covenant that
harmonizes
the differing opinions
into the gem
of comprehension.
