Bicentenary Poems and Prose

Divine Unity: To The Bab

Divine Unity:
To The Bab

One creative spiritual essence,
unknowable,
without beginning or ending,
without descent into matter
or ascent from it,
has not father
and does not reproduce offspring.

One unknowable creative spiritual essence,
humanity calls God,
Jehovah,
Allah,
the Great Spirit,
etc.

One Creator
brought the universe
with its numerous stars
and planets into existence.

The Almighty Creator
manifest divine attributes
through the mirrors
of Divine Manifestations:
through Moses,
Abraham,
Krishna,
Christ,
Muhammad,
the Bab,
and Baha'u'llah
(to name just a few).

Each Manifestation
revealed a room
in the temple
of divine unity.
