Selected Writings of Baha'u'llah

On reading this book,I came to understand that the teachings of Baha'u'llah,which are intended for all of humanity,represent the healing remedy for mankind,the tools which will enable us to build a better world,based on spiritual principles.As Baha'u'llah says:"...the sovereign remedy and the mightiest instrument for the healing of all the world is the union of all its peoples in one universal Cause,one common Faith","so powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole world"." These are not days of prosperity and triumph.The whole of mankind is in the grip of manifold ills.Strive,therefore,to save its life through the wholesome medicine which the almighty hand of the unerring Physician hath prepared".My hope is that anyone who will come upon His writings may find that new horizons of understanding and knowledge will open before their eyes.

Baha'u'llah (1817-1892) was the founder of the Baha'i faith which has its historical roots in Islam, but is considered a separate religion which considers all the messengers of God to be valid guides including (but not limited to) Krishna, Abraham, Moses, Buddha, Jesus, and Muhammad. Baha'u'llah is considered by the Baha'i community to be another of these prophetic messengers whose work was to reveal an unfolding divine plan for humanity. Selected Writings Of Baha'u'llah provides an succinct introductory overview into the Prophet Baha'u'llah's teachings, including his remarks on God, God's Messengers, the path to God, spiritual aspects of the world civilization, the nature of the human soul and its journey after death, and the renewal of God's covenant with humanity. Also very highly recommended reading for students of the Baha'i faith is the companion pocket book, Gleanings From The Writings Of Baha'u'llah (1931847-223, $12.00).
