Bicentenary Poems and Prose

The Door of Reality: To The Bab

The Door of Reality:
To The Bab

"The foundation of the divine religions is reality; were there no reality, there would be no religions.

Abraham heralded reality. Moses promulgated reality. Christ established reality. Muhammad was the Messenger of reality. The Bab was the door of reality. Bahá'u'lláh was the splendor of reality.

Reality is one; it does not admit multiplicity or division. Reality is as the sun, which shines forth from different dawning points; it is as the light, which has illumined many lanterns."

Bahá’í Writings

Through the invincible power of God
the Door to reality opened
revealing to humanity
a new heaven,
a new Earth,
and Reality's splendor.
