Soaring Bird 06:03
CH You are even as the bird that soareth With the full force of it's mighty wings And with complete and joyous confidencet Through the immensity of the heavens;....... Until impelled to satisfy it's hunger It turns longingly to the water... and the clay Of the earth below it; having been entrapped in the mesh of it's desire finds itself impotent ...to resume it's flight, To the realms from whence it came..... CH Having been entrant in the mesh of ....it's desire Finds itself impotent To resume its flight into the realms from whence it came Ch You are even as the bird that soareth XXXXXXrepeat

The betterment of the world ...can be accomplished through Pure and goodly deeds and commendable and seemly conduct..... Beware O People of the world...... lest you walk in the ways of them Whose words differ from their deeds....O Son of Man Bring yourself to account each day lest you will be Summoned to a reckoning...Holy words, pure and goodly deeds Ascend unto the heaven of celestial glory.... The betterment of the world........can be accomplished through Pure and goodly deeds ...and commendable and seemly conduct x3

Bahái High 05:28
I came upon some people who seemed to me aware They had open hearts to me they seemed to really care... About the world and truth and justice I thought I'd found some friends... They had open hearts to me.. I knew I'd found some friends... Friends in a deeper sense of the word.. like minded kindred souls Friends from different race and culture like hidden gems untold.... I gathered up my courage and I put aside my fears My independent enquiry began steady as she goes No blood sweat or tears

I Bear witness , O my God That Thou hast created me to know and worship thee I testify at this moment, to my powerlessness and to Thy might... And to my poverty and to Thy wealth, There is none other God but Thee, The help in peril , the self subsisting
5.
Be in perfect unity, Never become angry with one another... Love the creatures for the sake of God and not for themselves...you will always become angry And impatient if you love them for the sake of them... Humanity is not perfect, There are imperfections in every human being.... and you will always become unhappy if you love the people for them self.... But if you love them for the sake of God , You'll love them and be kind to them..... For the world of god ...is the world of perfection , For the world of God...is the world of complete mercy.

The nightingale sang in the quiet of the night, The peace from that garden was felt from afar.. The chosen one walked among the roses in the moonlight Conversing communing with God in high.. The Chosen one said to His sons , boys let's go Cross the river, all is ready , the time has come The time has come for us to be in this garden To walk and talk with those With those who hold true to the message to free banking From the shackles and chains of man-made distractions From The Cause of God the purpose of life here on this life Was made manifest in those days This is the day when all shall be revealed He is the one we've be waiting for.... And the wave of joy that broke upon the earth, Shall reverberate for evermore.......for evermore The Tigris river carried them across to the garden The tents were made ready the people came And the towers of Islam..cried out to God As they entered into that beautiful garden The roses were pilled on the floor of his tent And sent out to the friends and the faithful... His words were soothing powerful and profound ... His words were listened to, written down and passed around... And the nightingale sang as the sun went down Marking the 12 most happy days for all mankind

Intone 04:26
Intone O My servant...the verses of God That have been intoned by them that have drawn nigh unto Thee... That the sweetness of the melody may enkindle your own soul And attract the hearts of all men... Whoso recites 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 hearts.. of every righteous man to throb... Though he may at first remain unaware of it's effect By the grace vouchsafe unto him , Must needs sooner or later exercise it's influence upon his soul.... Thus have the mysteries been released by the breath of Him who is the source of wisdom......
8.
Blessed is the spot ...and the house and the place And the city and the heart and the mountain.... And the refuge and the cave and the valley and the land And the sea and the island and the meadow.. Where mention of God has been made .... And His praise glorified
9.
O Wayfarer 04:09
O wayfarer in the path of God, Take though thy portion of the ocean of His grace And deprive not thyself of the things that lie hidden in it's depths.. Be thou of them that have partaken of it's treasure.. A dew drop out of this ocean would If spread upon all that are in heaven and earth Suffice to enrich them with the bounty of God The almighty the all knowing the all wise.. With hands of renunciation draw forth from It's life-giving waters and sprinkle therewith.. All created things that they may be cleansed From all man-made limitations and may approach the mighty seat of God This hallowed and resplendent spot.
10.
Thy name is my healing, O my God And remembrance of Thee is my remedy..... Nearness to Thee is my hope and love for Thee my companion.... Thy mercy to me is my healing And my succour ...in both this world and the world to come.. Verily Thou art the al-bountifull, The All-knowing, the All- wise

My Beloved 02:48
My beloved , my heart's desire

Truthfulness 04:23
Truthfulness is the foundation of all human virtue.... Without truthfulness, progress and success In all the worlds God Are impossible..... for any soul.... Beautify your tongues O people with truthfulness And adorn your souls with the ornament of honesty Truthfulness is the foundation of ...all human virtue Let your eye be chaste , your hand ...faithful You tongue be truthful and your heart enlightened They who dwell within the tabernacle of God And are established upon the seats of everlasting Glory Will refuse , though they are dying of hunger To stretch their had and seize unlawfully the property Of their neighbour no matter how vile and worthless he may be Truthfulness is the foundation of all human virtue xx Truthfulness is the foundation ...of all human virtues
