THE HOLIEST The Base
Tablet Thirteen
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held:(Rev. 6:9)
<1>Although the spiritual realization was completed with the first four truths explained so far, if a universal feeling (
) is not created, all of them could lead to narrowness of the mind <2>which is the very cause of prejudice, separation, and much suffering.
<3>The fifth truth, which expresses this teaching the strongest, was brought by Bab (Baha'u'llah), the Baha'i Faith ().
<4>Only when it is realized that God is everything, inseparable, and ONE, that we all are a part of Him and He is the whole universe, and that we have to direct all of our endeavors and realizations toward Him (the whole universe), can we shatter all narrowness of the mind and be free from this evil also.
<5>The very writings of Baha'u'llah (Bab) express this point strongly. <6>Also, it was after him that the world became more aware of its interdependence and oneness.
<7>In the beginning of the spread of this religion, many Souls were slain, "for the testimony which they held."
