A selection of verses centred on the fundamental principles of the Bahá'í Faith. The key to unlocking the human heart is the Word of God. Yet some of us have difficulty understanding the words of the sacred writings, in recalling them exactly and applying them in our lives. Our appreciation, recollection, use and application of the sacred writings can be greatly enhanced if we can find a way to make them more accessible to us. Galya Gunderson suggests a way that we can take the sacred writings into our hearts and provides a selection of verses centred on the fundamental principles of the Bahá’í Faith, including:
One God
Oneness of humankind
Selflessness and service
The need for personal transformation
Justice and human rights
With which we might begin our endeavour.
