Reflections
on the Life of the Soul
|
|
|
|
Man - the true man - is soul, not body; though physically man belongs
to the animal kingdom, yet his soul lifts him above the rest of creation.
The soul it is which makes the human creature a celestial entity!
|
 |
|
'Abdu'l-Bahá
|
 |
| A body doth not develop and grow without the soul; therefore the
soul is the medium of the spiritual life. |
 |
|
'Abdu'l-Bahá
|
 |
| Know verily, that the soul is a sign of God, a heavenly gem whose
reality the most learned of men hath failed to grasp, and whose mystery
no mind, however acute, can ever hope to unravel. |
 |
|
Bahá'u'lláh
|
 |
| Verily, I say, the human soul is, in its essence, one of the signs
of God, a mystery among His mysteries. It is one of the mighty signs of
the Almighty … Within it lieth concealed that which the world is now utterly
incapable of apprehending. |
 |
|
Bahá'u'lláh
|
 |
|
Know thou of a truth that the soul, after its separation
from the body, will continue to progress until it attaineth the presence
of God …
|
 |
| To consider that after the death of the body the spirit perishes
is like imagining that a bird in a cage will be destroyed if the cage
is broken, though the bird has nothing to fear from the destruction of
the cage. Our body is like the cage, and the spirit is like the bird.
We see that without the cage the bird flies … therefore, if the cage becomes
broken, the bird will continue to exist … In truth, from hell it reaches
a paradise of delights because for the thankful birds there is no paradise
greater than freedom from the cage. |
