Today, from “The Call of the Divine Beloved,” by Lord Bahá’u’lláh (vegetarian), we continue learning about the importance of spiritual seekers progressing through various stages, as well as the significance of Divine signs found in dreams.“For in this valley the traveler is flung into confusion, albeit, in the eyes of him who has attained, such signs are esteemed and well beloved. At every moment, he beholds a wondrous world and a new creation, and goes from astonishment to astonishment, and is lost in awe before the new handiwork of Him Who is the sovereign Lord of all.Indeed, O brother, if we ponder each created thing, we shall witness myriad consummate wisdoms and learn myriad new and wondrous truths.

For some hold fast to reason and deny whatever reason comprehends not, and yet feeble minds can never grasp the reality of the stages that we have related: The universal Divine Intellect alone can comprehend them. […]All these states are to be found and witnessed in the Valley of Wonderment, wherein the wayfarer at every moment seeks for more and is not wearied. Thus the Lord of the first and the last, in setting forth the grades of contemplation and expressing bewilderment, has said: ‘Increase my wonder and amazement at Thee, O God!’Likewise, reflect upon the perfection of man’s creation, and that all these planes and states are folded up and hidden away within him. Do thou deem thyself a small and puny form, When thou fold within thyself the greater world? […]”
