“Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul.
Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal.”
I mentioned in a previous post that I’m a confirmed Space Cadet. The Dark Mother of the sky is rich in mystery, wonder, and (importantly) inspiration !
I’ve written a book (free download here) that sets out my opinions on the sky as life-inspiration . . .
Primitive peoples placed (or, discovered ?) their gods in the sky.
Modern people speculate about life on other worlds.
That title up there, “The spiritually learned….”, means, to me, the folks who practice compassion.
Here’s the full quote:
The spiritually learned are lamps of guidance among the nations, and stars of good fortune shining from the horizons of humankind. They are fountains of life for such as lie in the death of ignorance and unawareness, and clear springs of perfections for those who thirst and wander in the wasteland of their defects and errors….They are skilled physicians for the ailing body of the world, they are the sure antidote to the poison that has corrupted human society. It is they who are the strong citadel guarding humanity, and the impregnable sanctuary for the sorely distressed, the anxious and tormented, victims of ignorance.
‘Abdu’l-Bahá, The Secret of Divine Civilization, p. 33

Wow, what post. Love the mention of compassion. The older I get the more important it becomes in my life. Will have to check out your ebooks. Loved the quote especially these lines: “…It is they who are the strong citadel guarding humanity, and the impregnable sanctuary for the sorely distressed,…” Thank heaven for that.
