Meditation
“Some thoughts are useless to man; they are like waves moving in the sea without result.
But if the faculty of meditation is bathed in the inner light and characterized with divine attributes, the results will be confirmed.
The meditative faculty is akin to the mirror; if you put it before earthly objects it will reflect them.
Therefore if the spirit of man is contemplating earthly subjects he will be informed of these.
But if you turn the mirror of your spirits heavenwards, the heavenly constellations and the rays of the Sun of Reality will be reflected in your hearts, and the virtues of the Kingdom will be obtained…
May we indeed become mirrors reflecting the heavenly realities, and may we become so pure as to reflect the stars of heaven.”
~ ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá , Paris Talks
