Oceans of Knowledge and Wisdom

Reading the Scriptures revealed by The Bab and Baha'u'llah

I peruse the sacred writings
Revealed by the Holy Spirit
Through two Manifestations of God:
Siyyid ‘Ali-Muhammad, The Bab,1
And Husayn Ali2, Baha'u'llah3.
As I scrutinize each paragraph

~ I meditate on their similes, metaphors, and allegories ~

On the oceans of knowledge and wisdom
Contained in the words, sentences, and
Paragraphs of each epistle, tablet, and book.
Explanations of the symbols inscribed
In the Holy Books of all the preceding
Divine religions and revelations.
