Part 2: Recreating Ourselves in the Image of the Master

If One Teaches - Haylee

I Adjure Thee

Baha’i music composer Tom Price delivered six great talks at the 2012 Tennessee Baha’i School, called “Recreating Ourselves in the Image of the Master”.

For those of you who have yet to hear one of Tom’s talks, you’re in for a treat! Tom Price’s talks on The Five Year Plan are still one of our most popular posts ever and you can listen to them here: https://soundcloud.com/bahai-blog/sets/the-5-year-plan-tom-price

In these wonderful talks Tom Price shares six of Abdu’l-Baha’s attributes and looks at how we can learn from them and adopt them into our own lives.

Abdu’l-Baha, (also referred to as the Master) was Baha’u’llah’s eldest son and appointed successor, and He is considered the perfect example of how to live according to the Baha’i teachings. 

We hope you enjoy these talks as much as we do, and please let us know what you think in the comments section and feel free to share this post with your friends. You'll also find a variety of other talks, discourses and lectures here: https://soundcloud.com/bahai-blog/sets/bahai-talks

Happy Listening, and a BIG THANK YOU to Tom Price for this wonderful service!

Part 1: Recreating Ourselves in the Image of the Master

O God Educate These Children

Intone

Intone, O My servant, the verses of God that have been received by thee, as intoned by them who have drawn nigh unto Him, that the sweetness of thy melody may kindle thine own soul, and attract the hearts of all men. Whoso reciteth, in the privacy of his chamber, the verses revealed by God, the scattering angels of the Almighty shall scatter abroad the fragrance of the words uttered by his mouth, and shall cause the heart of every righteous man to throb. Though he may, at first, remain unaware of its effect, yet the virtue of the grace vouchsafed unto him must needs sooner or later exercise its influence upon his soul.

From Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, CXXXVI

Create in Me a Pure Heart
