'Abdu'l-Baha: The Epitome of Baha'u'llah's Teachings

'Abdu'l-Baha:
The Epitome of Baha'u'llah's Teachings

In all of his actions,
he demonstrated both " a pure, kindly and radiant heart,"1
and justice2
in their purest form.

The Perfect Exemplar,
he is the archetype
we attempt to emulate;
perhaps an impossible task,
but one that is well worth the effort.

Poet's Note: ▼

This is poem #75 of the 100 I am writing for the Centenary of the Ascension of 'Abdu'l-Baha.
