Meditation on Sovereignty: To The Bab

Meditation on Sovereignty:
To The Bab

"...These sanctified Mirrors, these Daysprings of ancient glory are one and all the Exponents on earth of Him Who is the central Orb of the universe, its Essence and ultimate Purpose. From Him proceed their knowledge and power; from Him is derived their sovereignty..."

Baha'u'llah1

Sovereignty belongs to God,
the Creator,
the sovereign ruler of the universe.

In each age,
the Almighty places
the power of sovereignty
in the hands of His Chosen Remembrance.

In past ages,
the All-Possessing
Lord of creation
placed the majesty
of His sovereignty in
Abraham,
Moses
Krishna,
Buddha,
Christ,
Zoroaster,
and Muhammad.

In this day,
the Monarch of Creation
has placed His authority
in the hands of The Bab
and Baha'u'llah.

The Unknowable Creator,
is the most potent of rulers,
is reflected through chosen Manifestation
and the scriptures revealed
through the Holy Manifestation
is the king of words,
with the potency
to transform humanity's
spiritual and material life..
