Translating ideals into action
An individual in Victoria wrote the following poem while reflecting on the Commemoration of Centenary of the Ascension of Abdu’l-Baha. Their reflections centred on His love which drew the souls of many around the world closer to each other, and on His sacrificial efforts towards unity and peace.
They also reflected on the following words of Abdu’l-Baha exhorting the peoples of the world to translate their high ideals into action:
“To know this is not enough. All knowledge is good, but it can bear no fruit except by action... We hope the people realize and know that unity is good, and we also hope that they will not be content to stand still in that knowledge. Do not only say that Unity, Love and Brotherhood are good; you must work for their realization.”
