51: O Son Of My Handmaid! Be Not Troubled In Poverty Nor Confident In

Categories: FROM THE PERSIAN
Sources: The Hidden Words Of Baha'u'llah

O SON OF MY HANDMAID! Be not troubled in poverty nor confident in riches,

for poverty is followed by riches, and riches are followed by poverty. Yet

to be poor in all save God is a wondrous gift, belittle not the value

thereof, for in the end it will make thee rich in God, and thus thou shalt

know the meaning of the utterance, In truth ye are the poor, and the

holy words, God is the all-possessing, shall even as the true morn break

forth gloriously resplendent upon the horizon of the lover's heart, and

abide secure on the throne of wealth.
