O thou lamp who are enkindled with the fire of the Love of God!
Verily, I read thy recent letter which showed thy strong love,
Thy being ablaze with the fire of the love thy Lord,
The Mighty, the Praised, and the penetration of the Spirit of Truth

The fire, the fire, the fire of the love of thy Lord. 
The Mighty, the Praised, and the penetration of the Spirit… 
… of Truth.

"O Thou kind Lord!  O Thou Who art generous and merciful!  We are servants of Thy threshold and are gathered beneath the sheltering shadow of Thy divine unity.  The sun of Thy mercy is shining upon all, and the clouds of Thy bounty shower upon all.  Thy gifts encompass all, Thy loving providence sustains all, Thy protection overshadows all, and the glances of Thy favor are cast upon all.  O Lord!  Grant Thine infinite bestowals, and let the light of Thy guidance shine.  Illumine the eyes, gladden the hearts with abiding joy.  Confer a new spirit upon all people and bestow upon them eternal life.  Unlock the gates of true understanding and let the light of faith shine resplendent.  Gather all people beneath the shadow of Thy bounty and cause them to unite in harmony, so that they may become as the rays of one sun, as the waves of one ocean, and as the fruit of one tree.  May they drink from the same fountain.  May they be refreshed by the same breeze.  May they receive illumination from the same source of light.  Thou art the Giver, the Merciful, the Omnipotent."

"Prayer for Humanity" by Stevie & Tory

Converging on Canada’s Vancouver Island, songwriter/recording artists Eric Dozier (Harlem Gospel Choir, One Human Family) and JB Eckl (Santana, WAR, Ozomatli) set out to bring their diverse musical backgrounds together for a music-infused devotional experience. Drawing on the Baha’i sacred Writings for lyrics and inspiration, and incorporating elements of soul, rock, Gospel, folk and world music, this first collaboration weaves a rich tapestry of sound at once expansive and intimate, introspective and jubilant.

The Badasht Project seeks to explore how the use of beauty, music and the arts can serve as a catalyst for change, consciousness, revolution, and insight.

"Hlobisa" by Taraz, Nthabiseng & Page

Wayfarer

"We are all connected" is a song which gives voice to some fo the views, youth in Manurewa expressed about unity and being one in the context of the human body. The song was made at one of the Ruhi training courses youth attended in the April school holidays.

The lyrics of this song was inspired by the following study:
Society can be likened to the human body. In fact, there is no other model that demonstrates better how society should work. In the human body, every cell, tissue and organ is connected to every other. The health of each affects the health of all. The pain of each is the pain of all. The well-being of the body depends on the well-being of each part. 

The principle that governs the functioning of the body is cooperation. Its various parts do not compete for resources; rather, each cell, from its inception, is linked to a continuous process of giving and receiving. If one member of the body is in distress, all the other members suffer also. When there is unity and reciprocity between the various parts, the whole body grows in strength. 

Acceptance of the oneness and interconnectedness of humankind requires a profound change in our thinking. Accepting the oneness of humanity demands that prejudices of all kinds - based on race, religion, nation, tribe, class, gender or education - must be totally eliminated. Prejudices are a major cause of suffering and affliction throughout the world. Any views that consider one group of people superior to another must be entirely rejected. 

Noble thoughts in themselves are not enough. They must be translated into action. Selfless service to our fellow human beings is a natural expression of acceptance of the principle of the oneness of humanity. The truth that humanity is one must be constantly taught and asserted through deeds.
