What is the “Mystic Path”; and Who is “the Beloved”?The answers to the above questions can be found in the following words revealed in the 19th century by Bahá ’u’lláh, the Prophet Founder of the Bahá’─▒╠ü Faith:"Every Prophet Whom the Almighty and Peerless Creator hath purposed to send to the peoples of the earth hath been entrusted with a Message, and charged to act in a manner that would best meet the requirements of the age in which He appeared. ...The Prophets of God should be regarded as physicians whose task is to foster the well-being of the world and its peoples, that, through the spirit of oneness, they mayhealthesicknessofadividedhumanity.... Itistowardstheinmostessenceof these Prophets, therefore, that the eye of every man of discernment must be directed, inasmuch as their one and only purpose hath always been to guide the erring, and give peace to the aflicted ...." ~ Gleanings from the Writings of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 79–80.The spiritual life of every individual person relates to human society as a whole; and, thus, to the world conditions that challenge humanity. In the present age, mysticism can no longer be considered as the exclusive domain of a few select initiates. Therefore, the analysis of the “Mystic Path” presented in this book is a new approach in which we discuss spirituality in relation to the main issues that the world is facing today. This book speaks to every human being. Readers from all religious traditions—or none—will find something of interest in the contents.

Junun was the pen name of my dear grandfather, Jinab-i-Mirza Faraj’u’llah Fanaian who, in his early adolescence, set out upon the path followed by the unsung heroes and heroines of a heroic age. This was a time of great turmoil in Persia when the brilliant sun of a new Divine Revelation was breaking through the dense and darksome clouds of corruption, degradation and fanaticism. This was a time of great sacriice—willing sacriice even unto death—for the Cause of God.From his obscure beginnings in Sangsar, a small town in the Persian Province of Semnan, and having only been taught the Persian alphabet as a child, Junun developed into a mystic of profound insight, and a poet of superlative skill.Within the pages of this book is my humble rendering into English of my beloved grandfather’s majestic, mystical poem, The Repository of Mysteries, the verses of which are overlowing with Junun's feeling of wonderment at the visions of unearthly realms that were unveiled before his inner eye through the grace of God. The epicde picts the stages of man's spiritual journey to God, and tells of the Prophets through Whom the loving Creator has communicated with humankind through the ages.Junun’s rhyming couplets ring out with his overpowering yearning and love for the Beauty of God revealed in the inner essence of Baha╠ü ’u’lla╠üh, Who is the Promised One of all Ages, and the Supreme Manifestation of God for this glorious new Era in the history of humanity.

The aim of this book is to bring to the attention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people that a new message from God has appeared which has the remedy to fix the social and spiritual problems that we are facing but also the world.

"This book is a valuable reflection on 40 years of effort on a wide variety of development projects in one of the poorest countries in the Americas. It looks at innovations in health, education, child labour, the performing arts, special needs and formal education. These projects were inspired by the vision and teachings of the Bahä'i¿ Faith about spiritual empowerment and social transformation, and their practical application is explored with a view to learning about grassroots development.It is refreshing that instead of preaching about a "success story" the authors embrace a humble and honest approach about the struggles and challenges of improving peoples' livelihoods in difficult circumstances. Perhaps this is why their work inspires hope, exactly because it is a genuine reflection on what it takes to translate ideals into reality."- Professor Payam Akhavan, McGill University
