تم إنشاء هذا التأمل الاسترشادي للكلمات المكنونة المقدسة لحضرة بهاء الله، للاحتفال بمرور مائتي عام على ولادة حضرة الباب. تتمثل نقطة التركيز في التأمل في جذب المستمع إلى النص ذاته "للكلمات المكنونة"، من خلال قراءة المقتطفات القصيرة بصوت عالٍ و بتقنيات مختلفة لتوفير المساحة للتأمل والتنوير
یا ابن الرّوح
روح القدس یبشّرک بالأنس کیف تحزن و روح الأمر یؤیّدک علی الأمر کیف تحتجب و نور الوجه یمشی قدّامک کیف تضلّ

“O SON OF SPIRIT!
The spirit of holiness beareth unto thee the joyful tidings of reunion; wherefore dost thou grieve? The spirit of power confirmeth thee in His cause; why dost thou veil thyself? The light of His countenance doth lead thee; how canst thou go astray?”
- Baha’u’llah -

“HE IS THE GLORY OF GLORIES
THIS is that which hath descended from the realm of glory, uttered by the tongue of power and might, and revealed unto the Prophets of old. We have taken the inner essence thereof and clothed it in the garment of brevity, as a token of grace unto the righteous, that they may stand faithful unto the Covenant of God, may fulfill in their lives His trust, and in the realm of spirit obtain the gem of divine virtue.”
- Baha’u’llah -
(Prelude to the Hidden Words)
The Hidden Words is a collection of meditational verses exploring the eternal relationship between God and man. Composed by the founder of the Baha’i Faith, Baha’u’llah (November 12th, 1817 - May 29th, 1892) about the year 1858 as He walked, wrapt in contemplation beside the River Tigris in Baghdad, Iraq where He was exiled (1853-1863).

Audio Recordings of the BMP Meditations
Each voice recorder (and all other contributions) of the Bicentenary Meditation Project have contributed their individual time and energy free of charge, without whom this entire community-led project would not have been possible or come to life. It is truly the result of the colossal global effort of individuals who have contributed to the commemoration of the Bicentenary Birth of the Bab with a joyful, willing and radiant heart - which also happened to be the only prerequisite of submitting to the Bicentenary Meditation Project!
As soon as we received the meditations, which included contributions from all around the world, from individuals with different skillsets, spoken language, age groups, professions, technological capacities, accessibility to internet etc, we would send all the received audio meditations of varied qualities to our Sound Engineers Jarome Mathew and Fei Hou (侯非) to create a cohesive experience for the listener, which was truly a labour of love worth mentioning in itself!
