Divine Mirrors

Istijlál (Majesty), 1 Kamál (Perfection) 176 B.E. - Thursday, August 1, 2019
Feast of Kamal

"It is given to man to obtain knowledge, to attain to great spiritual perfection, to discover hidden truths and to manifest even the attributes of God; but still man cannot comprehend the Essence of God. Where the ever-widening circle of man's knowledge meets the spiritual world a Manifestation of God is sent to mirror forth His splendour."

Bahá’í Writings

Divine Mirrors

I contemplate the mirrors of God,
God sent human beings
who reflect the divine attributes
to humanity.

Each come,
when darkness overshadowed humankind,
to reflect the light of the Holy Spirit
and guide mankind
to unity.
