"Be generous in prosperity, and thankful in adversity. Be worthy of the trust of thy neighbour, and look upon him with a bright and friendly face. Be a treasure to the poor, an admonisher to the rich, an answerer to the cry of the needy, a preserver of the sanctity of thy pledge. Be fair in thy judgment, and guarded in thy speech. Be unjust to no man, and show all meekness to all men. Be as a lamp unto them that walk in darkness, a joy to the sorrowful, a sea for the thirsty, a haven for the distressed, an upholder and defender of the victim of oppression. Let integrity and uprightness distinguish all thine acts. Be a home for the stranger, a balm to the suffering, a tower of strength for the fugitive. Be eyes to the blind, and a guiding light unto the feet of the erring. Be an ornament to the countenance of truth, a crown to the brow of fidelity, a pillar of the temple of righteousness, a breath of life to the body of mankind, an ensign of the hosts of justice, a luminary above the horizon of virtue, a dew to the soil of the human heart, an ark on the ocean of knowledge, a sun in the heaven of bounty, a gem on the diadem of wisdom, a shining light in the firmament of thy generation, a fruit upon the tree of humility."

When creating an AI track with small segments as the free options allow it is often best to start with a "chorus", but suno doesn't allow you to add parts before a segment, so you either have to launch the song with the chorus near the start or crop the first one off. Udio allows you to build in both directions. 

There is a very small amount of editing on this one but I didn't want to move too far away from representing what AI could do. A few more segment creations and a bit more editing and this could be much more polished. Unfortunately it doesn't say "diadem" properly in two of the three "choruses", but even with this version a bit of splicing might fix that.

Fruit on the Tree of Humility

"Every lamp will eventually be extinguished save the lamp of the Kingdom, which increaseth day by day in splendour. Every call shall ultimately weaken except the call to the Kingdom of God, which day unto day is raised. Every path shall finally be twisted except the road of the Kingdom, which straighteneth day by day. Undoubtedly heavenly melody is not to be measured with an earthly one, and artificial lights are not to be compared with the heavenly Sun. Hence one must exert endeavor in whatever is lasting and permanent so that one may more and more be illumined, strengthened and revived

Lasting And Permanent

AI Generated music and vocals.

O MY SERVANT! 
Thou art even as a finely tempered sword concealed in the darkness of its sheath and its value hidden from the artificer’s knowledge. Wherefore come forth from the sheath of self and desire that thy worth may be made resplendent and manifest unto all the world.

- Bahá'u'lláh, The Hidden Words

Made with suno.com with a little editing.

It took a few attempts to structure the words in such a way that suno.com would produce something at all decent but when it did - albeit that it still dropped a couple of words - it was something special. It took a lot of segment creations after that before it produced 3 minutes that ran together easily, though one day I might edit together some of the many unused creations to make a thumping extended version of this.

Finely Tempered Sword

"Tests are benefits from God, for which we should thank Him. Grief and sorrow do not come to us by chance, they are sent to us by the Divine Mercy for our own perfecting.
While a man is happy he may forget his God; but when grief comes and sorrows overwhelm him, then will he remember his Father who is in Heaven, and who is able to deliver him from his humiliations.
Men who suffer not, attain no perfection. The plant most pruned by the gardeners is that one which, when the summer comes, will have the most beautiful blossoms and the most abundant fruit.
The laborer cuts up the earth with his plough, and from that earth comes the rich and plentiful harvest. The more a man is chastened, the greater is the harvest of spiritual virtues shown forth by him."

"Look at me, follow me, be as I am; take no thought for yourselves or your lives, whether ye eat or whether ye sleep, whether ye are comfortable, whether ye are well or ill, whether ye are with friends or foes, whether ye receive praise or blame; for all these things ye must care not at all. Look at me and be as I am; ye must die to yourselves and to the world, so ye shall be born again and enter the kingdom of heaven. Behold the candle, how it gives light. It weeps its life away drop by drop in order to give forth its flame of light."

- 'Abdu'l-Bahá

Made with udio.com 

Udio wanted to speak the words or sing them very badly until given a rhyming "chorus" repeating one line. 

Behold the candle, 
how it gives light
It weeps its life away 
drop by drop.
in order to give forth 
its flame of light.
It weeps its life away 
drop by drop.

A similar tactic was used in another part repeating "care not at all" a few times where it didn't appear in the text.

"We, verily, have made music as a ladder for your souls, a means whereby they may be lifted up unto the realm on high"

- Bahá’u’lláh, Kitáb-i-Aqdas


Made using udio.com - this is probably the quickest one in this collection. Given a longer version of the quote it initially refused to include any lyrics and gave the base of this, best results were found with just this one line repeated.

Ladder for Souls

An experimental composition  I made in the 90s using impulse tracker having got my hands on the whale sample that I was keen to play with :)
