The Divine Educator and the Vision of Global Unity

Throughout his exile from Persia to Baghdad, Constantinople, Adrianople, and finally to the prison-city of Acre, Bahá'u'lláh maintained a spirit of radiant acquiescence that is truly awe-inspiring. Despite the physical hardships of the "Most Great Prison," he channeled his suffering into a torrent of divine revelation, producing volumes of tablets that addressed the kings and rulers of his time with an authority that was both bold and compassionate. He called upon the leaders of the world to reconcile their differences, reduce their armaments, and dedicate themselves to the well-being of their citizens, demonstrating a social consciousness that was far ahead of his time. This courage to speak truth to power, even when his own life was in constant jeopardy, highlights a moral fortitude that is a rare and precious quality in the annals of leadership.
