Commentary In Favor Of Books The Seven Valleys and the Four Valleys

This is my favorite of all of Baha'u'llah's writings. I've worn out several copies and given away several more. Finally gotten smart and have a hardbound copy for devotions and a paperback that goes everywhere with me. Every time I read the Seven Valleys I get so much more out of it—insights and epiphanies as well as songs. The language is the language of the Poet, the result is absolute clarity.

Appraise Based On Books The Seven Valleys and the Four Valleys

The Seven (and Four) Valleys was a great read about the stages of the spiritual journey and becoming united with the Divine.

The Seven Valleys and the Four Valleysby Bahá'u'lláh, Marzieh Gail (Translator), Ali Kuli Khan (Translator)Seven Valleys happened to be on my bookshelf as I passed by and since it was a thin little volume, I thought Id finally read it. I have had several brushes with Bahaiism: I had just read about Bahaiism in my senior world religions course. A month later, in my training to go to Iran I had to learn Farsi, or Persian. My Persian teacher was from a prominent Bahai family. We became good

I am reading, and have read this book over and over and over, and constantly find new ways of understanding life. It is definitely my favorite book. It is about "the seven stages the soul must traverse" to reach perfection. To help in understanding the book, I find Towards the Summit of Reality, by Julio Savi, an indispensable guide and introduction.And again, after finishing it this time, still find it excellent reading.Always on my list to read again.

words cant say how great this book.

This is an excellent book, although I assume most people would declare it strange. When our planet is cruising on its orbit in space, and the sun is on the other side of our planet, I try to read one chapter of this book at that time. I believe it serves its purpose.

One must judge of search by the standard of the Majnun of Love. It is related that one day they came upon Majnun sifting the dust, and his tears flowing down. They said, "What doest thou?" He said, "I seek for Layli." They cried, "Alas for thee! Layli is of pure spirit, and thou seekest her in the dust!" He said, "I seek her everywhere; haply somewhere I shall find her." Yea, although to the wise it be shameful to seek the Lord of Lords in the dust, yet this betokeneth intense ardor in
