Thou art the Potent, the Powerful, the Seeing, the Hearing."  - ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

Bestow upon me my portion, O Lord, as Thou pleasest, and cause me to be satisfied with whatsoever Thou hast ordained for me.
Thine is the absolute authority to command.”

Trusted In Thee

“La cumbia del jardinero,” a song performed at the dedication of the Baha'i House of Worship in Norte del Cauca, Colombia, uses a metaphor of a gardener to describe the process of spiritual education, which has been an important feature of the development of vibrant communities in the area. The song describes how the world is like a forest, and gardeners work to expose the sun’s rays to the smallest of plants, allowing them to grow and share their fruits of love and unity with the world.

“O ni uppriktiga, ni som längtar, ni som är dragna som av en magnet, ni som har rest er för att tjäna Guds sak, för att upphöja Hans ord och sprida Hans ljuva väldofter vitt och brett! Jag har läst ert utmärkta brev, vackert till stilen, vältaligt till orden, djupt till betydelsen och jag prisade Gud och tackade Honom för att ha kommit till er hjälp och gjort er i stånd att tjäna Honom i Hans vidsträckta vingård.”
- Abdu’l-Baha

“O ye sincere ones, ye longing ones, ye who are drawn as if magnetized, ye who have risen up to serve the Cause of God, to exalt His Word and scatter His sweet savours far and wide! I have read your excellent letter, beautiful as to style, eloquent as to words, profound as to meaning, and I praised God and thanked Him for having come to your aid and enabled you to serve Him in His widespreading vineyard."
