From Hidden Word of Baha'u'llah, the Founder of Baha'i Faith:
"O FRIEND!
In the garden of thy heart plant naught but the rose of love, and from the nightingale of affection and desire loosen not thy hold. Treasure the companionship of the righteous and eschew all fellowship with the ungodly."
My life is a proof of above Hidden Word!! Although It was written in two and half lines but contain all the lessons which I have needed to work with and put it into actions in my daily life. You might read the above Holy Word and understand something different from me but this is how Hidden Words' work! It gives out what you need it most!!
I have written nearly 500 diaries for past ten years documenting the fights with my own ungodly things and/or self' and/or others in the garden of my heart' !!
But I might be able to share with you a few lessons, which I have learnt by now!!!
These lessons were/are as follows: 1- a heart' is an open garden that can let all the beautiful flowers' of love grow inside it but don't forget to clean it' up from every ugly' poison's insects time to time, the ungodly ones'! Be careful who is entering therein since it takes more time, lots of efforts and pain to get rid of them!!
If you let your heart' expends the love' entrusted in your heart becomes free like a beautiful bird and/or becomes like a shiny cloud scattered around spreading its' light to all! It loves all, reaches to all, no place' can contain it' and it will be freed from all!!! And since there is no wall around this beautiful limitless garden of heart' no one is able to use his/her own knife to cut it into pieces!!! So it' will be safe from every danger and when it' reaches to its maximum capacity to expand it' will become untouchable!!
But a heart' which is not expended, it must be contracted with a limited capacity to contain only one or two flowers of love and/or a love' for a few things. This heart' and/or garden' is surrounded by walls and at the time of contraction caused either by pain, jealousy, and /or anger it will become touchable and visible target' for the ungodly ones'!!
2-A head: a head should always bow in front of its' Creator' and Its' essence which is hidden and entrusted into the being of every creature!! This head' will be raised to the station, where no eyes have been witnessed before!!
3- A hand: a hand which has been raised towards God will never come back empty, and even if it does, there will be unlimited hidden wisdoms in its emptiness!!
Conclusions: expand the garden of your heart and own an unlimited invisible land-escape ! In the time of contraction and /or pain cling to the High Power in order to expend again. Remember with every contraction' either by pain caused by others and/or going to labor a new born comes into this world. At the time of pain heart' will be contracted and becomes an amazing vacuum' having an especial power pulling into itself whatever is subjecting to it at the time of contraction!! At the time of having pain if you turn your face and your heart towards God asking His help your heart will vacuum all His love, blessings and comforts which are already prepared for all' on the Banquette of Last Supper !!! If you turn your heart towards those who have caused you such a pain you will receive more pain. So use this contraction to vacuum more Love, Blessing from invisible world!! Hold on to His affections!! But never stay in the contraction's mood for a long time since the heart' has an intense longing to go into defensive mood ,especially when it is broken, trying to refuse whatever comes towards it' even God's blessings!!! So remember to use any contraction' and/or pain as an vacuum' for receiving more blessing from invisible world!! and always raise your head' in front of the creation and their wrong doings and bow in front of its' Creator and Its Essence in every created things, raise your hand' towards God only and seek only the companionship of the righteous ones and escape from those who are ungodly', and you will never be disappointed by any creature's deeds in your life as I am hardly trying to do so!!!
