Note: Some of the conclusions reached in the article, as well as the illustrations, are personal interpretation and may be speculative in nature. It is recommended to cross-check with other sources to reach your own conclusions. The quotation that appears on page 32 (and partially on page 16) "We have proved that nothing is completely worthy of our heart's devotion save reality... your horizons will broaden until in the end they will embrace the universe", is from the 1918 compilation `Abdu'l-Bahá on Divine Philosophy, pp. 135-137 (ABU1890). For this text no Persian transcript is known.
