Attaining Spiritual Condition 

Source: Baha’u’llah and the New Era: An Introduction to the Bahá’í Faith

In order that we may attain the spiritual condition in which conversation with God becomes possible, Abdu’l-Baha says:

We must strive to attain to that condition by being separated from all things and from the people of the world and by turning to God alone. It will take some effort on the part of man to attain to that condition, but he must work for it, strive for it. We can attain to it by thinking and caring less for material things and more for the spiritual. The further we go from the one, the nearer we are to the other. The choice is ours.

Our spiritual perception, our inward sight must be opened, so that we can see the signs and traces of God’s spirit in everything. Everything can reflect to us the light of the Spirit. (from a talk reported by Miss Ethel J. Rosenberg).


We would love to hear from you
