a few more hidden words (31-32). . .

These are the next in line, of the Hidden Words of Baha’u’llah. They have to do with our flight to the next world. When I think of what I was taught in Sunday School, they are just an expansion of those ideas. It is not so much a physical heaven or hell, but what our spirit would feel in a spiritual sense. Jesus said, “In my Father’s house are many mansions.” The Christian’s desire is to be with Him. We are also responsible for our actions. It is the same thing in the Hidden Words.

Here are nos. 31-32:

31. O SON OF BEING!
Bring thyself to account each day ere thou art summoned to a reckoning; for death, unheralded, shall come upon thee and thou shalt be called to give account for thy deeds.

32. O SON OF THE SUPREME!
I have made death a messenger of joy to thee. Wherefore dost thou grieve? I made the light to shed on thee its splendor. Why dost thou veil thyself therefrom?

 (Baha’u’llah, The Arabic Hidden Words)
