29. O SON OF BEING!
Ascribe not to any soul that which thou wouldst not have ascribed to thee, and say not that which thou doest not. This is My command unto thee, do thou observe it.
(Baha’u’llah, The Arabic Hidden Words)
The Golden Rule exists in every truly spiritual path. It is restated again and again by the Prophets of God, the Blessed Ones Who teach us how to live, how to love, how to interact with one another.
“Do unto others, as you would have them do unto you,” Christ’s words.
ascribe = to tribute to a source or cause; or, to make undue claims to having.
In other words, do not claim that something, some action, some words, come from some other person, if you would not want that being said about yourself. Leave them to God. Leave them to themselves to contemplate their own actions. ESPECIALLY do not do this, if they are undue claims, in other words, when they are not even true.
I especially like the second part of Baha’u’llah’s “Golden Rule”. Say not that which thou doest not. In other words, WALK THE WALK, do what you say you will do, don’t just talk about it. Everyone has words. What the world needs is sincerity in action. He commands us to do this, then tells us to observe it. Very powerful.
