Be Anchored - Denzil & Hanieh

"He must never seek to exalt himself above anyone, must wash away from the tablet of his heart every trace of pride and vainglory, must cling unto patience and resignation, observe silence, and refrain from idle talk. For the tongue is a smoldering fire, and excess of speech a deadly poison. Material fire consumeth the body, whereas the fire of the tongue devoureth both heart and soul. The force of the former lasteth but for a time, whilst the effects of the latter endure a century." - Bahá’u’lláh, The Kitáb-i-Íqán

Broken Winged Bird - Denzil (ISGP QLD Dec 2016)

"Whoso ariseth,. in this Day, to aid Our Cause, and summoneth to his assistance the hosts of a praiseworthy character and upright conduct, the influence flowing from such an action will, most certainly, be diffused throughout the whole world."
   -Baha'u'llah; Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah.

Whoso Ariseth in this Day

"O MAN OF TWO VISIONS! Close one eye and open the other. Close one to the world and all that is therein, and open the other to the hallowed beauty of the Beloved"
   -Baha'u'llah, Hidden Words

O Man of two visions

"O SON OF BEING! Thou art My lamp and My light is in thee"..."Ye are the saplings which the hand of Loving-kindness hath planted in the soil of mercy"
   -Baha'u'llah, Hidden Words and Epistle to the son of the wolf

O Son Of Being! Thou art my lamp

"O SON OF BEING! Make mention of Me on My earth, that in My heaven I may remember thee, thus shall Mine eyes and thine be solaced."
  -Baha'u'llah, Hidden Words

"Thou knowest, O God, and art my witness that I have no desire in my heart save to attain Thy good pleasure, to be confirmed in servitude unto Thee, to consecrate myself in Thy service, to labor in Thy great vineyard and to sacrifice all in Thy path. 

I have no wish save to turn my steps, in my love for Thee, towards the mountains and the deserts to loudly proclaim the advent of Thy Kingdom, and to raise Thy call amidst all men.

 I have no occupation save mention of Thee and no aspiration save serving Thee."
