My servants! My holy, My divinely ordained Revelation may be likened unto an ocean in whose depths are concealed innumerable pearls of great price, of surpassing luster. It is the duty of every seeker to bestir himself and strive to attain the shores of this ocean, so that he may, in proportion to the eagerness of his search and the efforts he hath exerted, partake of such benefits as have been pre-ordained in God's irrevocable and hidden Tablets. If no one be willing to direct his steps towards its shores, if every one should fail to arise and find Him, can such a failure be said to have robbed this ocean of its power or to have lessened, to any degree, its treasures? How vain, how contemptible, are the imaginations which your hearts have devised, and are still devising! O My servants! The one true God is My witness! This most great, this fathomless and surging Ocean is near, astonishingly near, unto you. Behold it is closer to you than your life-vein! Swift as the twinkling of an eye ye can, if ye but wish it, reach and partake of this imperishable favour, this God-given grace, this incorruptible gift, this most potent and unspeakably glorious bounty.

SON OF LOVE!

Thou art but one step away from the glorious heights above and from the celestial tree of love. Take thou one pace and with the next advance into the immortal realm and enter the pavilion of eternity. Give ear then to that which hath been revealed by the pen of glory.".

In this long awaited encyclopedia of spiritual terminology, Henry A Weil has presented a thought provoking discussion of Baha'i sacred writings, endeavouring to embrace a triple set of goals simultaneously. As his first goal, he has provided supportive quotations that reveal the simplicity of the task of entering the immortal realm. Next he has taken full advantage of his faculty of inner vision to prove a point. According to Baha'i teachings, this faculty of inner vision is a mighty source of knowledge and intuition. It can arrive at highly scientific and advanced ideas without any formal education. His perceptions of psychological fact, which he perceived without any formal education in psychology, are in full accord with the state of the art. Thirdly, his comprehensive reference text of Baha'i sacred writings on man's spiritual needs relating to God, to the Manifestations and to the Creative Word clearly validates the principle of essential harmony between science and religion.
