“尘土之子啊!

蒙上你的眼，以瞻望我的圣 美;塞住你的耳，以聆听我的妙 音;清空你所有学识，以承享我的 真知;超脱财富圣洁自身，从我 永恒丰足之洋撷取持久的一份。 即:蒙上你的眼，除我之美无视其 他;塞住你的耳，非我之言罔闻一 切;清空你所有学识，只存对我的 认知;如此，以明澈之眼、纯净之 心、聆听之耳，你能进入我神圣天 庭。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O SON OF DUST!
Blind thine eyes, that thou mayest behold My beauty; stop thine ears, that thou mayest hearken unto the sweet melody of My voice; empty thyself of all learning, that thou mayest partake of My knowledge; and sanctify thyself from riches, that thou mayest obtain a lasting share from the ocean of My eternal wealth. Blind thine eyes, that is, to all save My beauty; stop thine ears to all save My word; empty thyself of all learning save the knowledge of Me; that with a clear vision, a pure heart and an attentive ear thou mayest enter the court of My holiness.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“尘土之子啊!

有了聆听者才开口，此为明智 之人。正如那斟酒人，见着寻酒者 才会奉上酒杯;又如那恋人，看到 所爱者的美才会由衷呼唤。所以， 要把智慧与知识的种子，播种在心 灵的净土，将它们隐藏起来，直到 那神圣智慧的风信子，从心田而非 泥淖里破土而出。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O SON OF DUST!
The wise are they that speak not unless they obtain a hearing, even as the cup-bearer, who proffereth not his cup till he findeth a seeker, and the lover who crieth not out from the depths of his heart until he gazeth upon the beauty of his beloved. Wherefore sow the seeds of wisdom and knowledge in the pure soil of the heart, and keep them hidden, till the hyacinths of divine wisdom spring from the heart and not from mire and clay.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“尘世之奴啊!

多少黎明，我那慈爱的和风 吹拂你，却发现你在疏失之榻上酣 睡。它哀叹着你的困境，于是复归 来处。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O BONDSLAVE OF THE WORLD!
Many a dawn hath the breeze of My loving-kindness wafted over thee and found thee upon the bed of heedlessness fast asleep. Bewailing then thy plight it returned whence it came.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“双重视觉之人啊!

闭上一只眼，睁开一只眼。把 观看尘世及其一切的那只眼闭上， 把瞻望至爱者之圣美的那只眼睁 开。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O MAN OF TWO VISIONS!
Close one eye and open the other. Close one to the world and all that is therein, and open the other to the hallowed beauty of the Beloved.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“欲望之子啊!

倾听此言:凡俗之眼绝不识 永恒之美;死寂之心只迷恋凋败之 花。因为同类相聚，结伴为欢。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O SON OF DESIRE!
Give ear unto this: Never shall mortal eye recognize the everlasting Beauty, nor the lifeless heart delight in aught but in the withered bloom. For like seeketh like, and taketh pleasure in the company of its kind.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“正义之子啊!

若非钟爱者之地，爱者能去何 处?离开内心的渴求，寻者何以宁 息?对于真爱者，团聚乃是生命， 分离便是死亡。他胸乏忍耐，心无 宁静，他宁愿舍弃千万次生命，也 要赶赴钟爱者的居所。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O SON OF JUSTICE!
Whither can a lover go but to the land of his beloved? and what seeker findeth rest away from his heart’s desire? To the true lover reunion is life, and separation is death. His breast is void of patience and his heart hath no peace. A myriad lives he would forsake to hasten to the abode of his beloved.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“灵之子啊!

鸟儿寻找自己的窝巢，夜莺 觅求玫瑰的妖娆;然而那些人心之 鸟，安于转瞬即逝之尘，已远离其 永生之巢，目光转向疏失之泥沼， 以致丧失圣临之荣耀。呜呼，多么 奇怪而可悲!为了区区一杯水，他 们离弃至高者的澎湃海洋，远离无 比灿烂的地平线。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O SON OF SPIRIT!
The bird seeketh its nest; the nightingale the charm of the rose; whilst those birds, the hearts of men, content with transient dust, have strayed far from their eternal nest, and with eyes turned towards the slough of heedlessness are bereft of the glory of the divine presence. Alas! How strange and pitiful; for a mere cupful, they have turned away from the billowing seas of the Most High, and remained far from the most effulgent horizon.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“我女仆之子啊!

自那慈悲者之舌，畅饮神圣奥 秘之琼浆;从那神圣宣说之黎明， 瞩望智慧太阳之晨光。将我神圣智 慧之种子，播种在你纯洁的心田， 浇以笃信之水，使知识与智慧之风 信子，在你心灵圣城里茁壮成长， 青翠葱茏。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O SON OF MY HANDMAID!
Quaff from the tongue of the merciful the stream of divine mystery, and behold from the dayspring of divine utterance the unveiled splendor of the daystar of wisdom. Sow the seeds of My divine wisdom in the pure soil of the heart, and water them with the waters of certitude, that the hyacinths of knowledge and wisdom may spring up fresh and green from the holy city of the heart.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“我的朋友啊!

你是我神圣诸天之阳，莫让俗 世污浊遮蔽你的光芒。撕开疏失之 帷幕，你便能穿出云层展露辉煌， 给万物披上生命霓裳。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O MY FRIEND!
Thou art the daystar of the heavens of My holiness, let not the defilement of the world eclipse thy splendor. Rend asunder the veil of heedlessness, that from behind the clouds thou mayest emerge resplendent and array all things with the apparel of life.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“我的仆人啊!

你犹如一把精工锻造之剑，掩 藏于剑鞘的幽暗中，其价值不为工 匠知晓。因此，冲出自我和欲望之 鞘，让你的价值向世间显耀。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O MY SERVANT!
Thou art even as a finely tempered sword concealed in the darkness of its sheath and its value hidden from the artificer’s knowledge. Wherefore come forth from the sheath of self and desire that thy worth may be made resplendent and manifest unto all the world.”

- Baha’u’llah -

“人之子啊!

除非服从我的诫命，在我面 前谦恭，不然，哪怕你驰骋无垠太 空，飞越浩瀚苍穹，也永远找不到 安宁。”

- 巴哈欧拉 -

“O MY SERVANT!
Free thyself from the fetters of this world, and loose thy soul from the prison of self. Seize thy chance, for it will come to thee no more.”

- Baha’u’llah -
