"lighten and uplift them, so that they may soar on the wings of the Divine verses" -Baha'u'llah

The Promise For Man

    
I attended a Baha’i Winter School in the Southwest in 1964. It was my very first experience being with a large group of Baha’is. It impressed me enough to continue my search for religious truth. Eventually, I embraced the Baha’i Faith. - Robert Kogan

For six short hours on Wednesday night
I witnessed a strange and unusual sight:
Different people from different places
Were not obsessed by their different races –
And no one there was segregated,
For by their Faith they were related.

While others proclaim that God is Dead,
They spoke of His Glory, and what He said –
The promise for man, and his ultimate fate –
While the rest of the world continued to hate.

They spoke of the Love and the Oneness of Man
While seeds of mistrust still darkened the land;
And from the shadows of despair in this dark,
They offered to me their Light and their Ark.
