Gems of Divine Mysteries

It might also help me to read Gems of Divine Mysteries, as I've been wanting to do for some time.

"He is the Exalted, the Most High!

"O thou who treadest the path of justice and beholdest the countenance of mercy!"

(Baha'u'llah, Gems of Divine Mysteries, p. 2)

I walked slowly through our apartment, imagining that I was finding my way along a path, until I was facing some paintings on the wall that bring me merciful feelings.

"Thine epistle was received, thy question was noted, and the sweet accents of thy soul were heard from the inmost chambers of thy heart."

I imagined Baha'u'llah saying that to me. One of my questions is "What am I missing?" Another one is "What can I do about it?"

"Whereupon the clouds of the Divine Will were raised to rain upon thee the outpourings of heavenly wisdom, to divest thee of all that thou hadst acquired aforetime, to draw thee from the realms of contradiction unto the retreats of oneness, and to lead thee to the sacred streams of His Law."

That sounds very promising. I see a hint of the fresh look I wanted to take, and "retreats of oneness" sounds very appealing.

"Perchance thou mayest quaff therefrom, repose therein, quench thy thirst, refresh thy soul, and be numbered with those whom the light of God hath guided aright in this day."

Perchance, perchance . . . quaff therefrom . . . repose therein . . . quench my thirst . . . refresh my soul . . . be guided aright . . . yes . . . yes . . . please, let it be so.
