Make them to hear the hidden truths that
are written and embedded in the heart of all that is. Make them to be
ensigns of guidance amongst all creatures, and piercing rays of the mind
shedding forth their light in this, the "first life."(3) Make them to be
leaders unto Thee, guides unto Thy path, runners urging men on to Thy
Kingdom.
Thou verily art the Powerful, the Protector, the Potent, the Defender, the
Mighty, the Most Generous.
--'Abdu'l-Baha
MARRIAGE
"He is the Bestower, the Bounteous!..."
"Baha'i marriage is union and cordial affection between the two parties.
They must, however, exercise the utmost care and become acquainted with
each other's character. This eternal bond should be made secure by a firm
covenant, and the intention should be to foster harmony, fellowship and
unity and to attain everlasting life."
--'Abdu'l-Baha
The pledge of marriage, the verse to be spoken individually by the bride
and the bridegroom in the presence of at least two witnesses acceptable to
the Spiritual Assembly is, as stipulated in the Kitab-i-Aqdas (The Most
Holy Book):
"We will all, verily, abide by the Will of God.
