29: BAHA'U'LLAH (IN ACCEPTING)

"In accepting Baha'u'llah you have accepted Christ in His appearance as

the Father, as He Himself so clearly foretold. The Catholic Church does

not believe this; on the contrary, it still awaits the return of Christ.

If you decide, in order to be buried next to your dear husband, to return

to the Church, you either would have to, in good faith, deny Baha'u'llah

or you would be just using the church as a means to satisfy a desire of

your own, which would certainly not be an upright and conscientious thing

to do.

"When you think that your husband's soul is now free of the limitations of

this world, and that he no doubt is beginning to see religious truth in

its true light and to appreciate the station of Baha'u'llah, you should

ask yourself whether he would wish you to leave the truth for this day and

re-enter the church just for the sake of your dust being near his dust.

Your spirit, when you pass away, will be near his spirit; of what

importance, then, is the body? He will pray for your guidance in this

matter."
