Tablet Thirteen
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I
saw under the altar the
souls of them that
were slain for the word of
God, and for the
testimony which they held:
(Rev. 6:9)
<1>Although the spiritual realization was
completed with the first four truths explained so far, if a
universal feeling ( )
is not created, all of them could lead to
narrowness
of the mind <2>which is the very cause of prejudice,
separation, and much suffering.
<3>The fifth truth, which expresses this
teaching the strongest, was brought by Bab (Baha'u'llah),
the Baha'i Faith ().
<4>Only when it is realized that
God is everything,
inseparable, and
ONE, that we all are a part of Him and He is the whole
universe, and that we have to direct all of our endeavors and
realizations toward Him (the whole universe), can we shatter all
narrowness
of the mind and be free from this
evil also.
<5>The very writings of
Baha'u'llah (Bab)
express this point strongly. <6>Also, it was after him that
the world became more aware of its interdependence and oneness.
<7>In the beginning of the spread of this
religion, many Souls were slain, "for the testimony which they
held."
