Tower Bridge, London. Taken on the evening of the 20th of March, 2011. 168 BE or 2011 is 100 years since Abdu’l-Bahá, the perfect exemplar and son of the Founder of the Baha’i Faith visited London. “the perfect man, the Prophet, is one who is transfigured, one who has the purity and the clearness of a perfect mirror—one who reflects the Sun of Truth. Of such a one—of such a Prophet and Messenger—we can say that the Light of Divinity with the heavenly Perfections dwells in him. If we claim that the sun is seen in the mirror, we do not mean that the sun itself has descended from the holy heights of his heaven and entered into the mirror! This is impossible. The Divine Nature is seen in the Manifestations and its Light and Splendor are visible in extreme glory.” Discourse of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá at St. John’s, Westminster, London. September 17th, 1911. |
