Secret of Divine Civilization (book)
|
Treatise addressed anonymously to the entire Persian nation, outlining both the secular and the religious bases of true civilization. Identified by Shoghi Effendi as Abdu'l-Baha's "outstanding contribution to the future reorganization of the world." Presents a defense of Western-style modernization in the face of opposition to the Shah's reforms. Explores the qualities of the spiritually learned through the lens of an Islamic tradition that the learned "must guard himself, defend his faith, oppose his passions and obey the commandments of his Lord". Presents the essential outlines of the Lesser Peace. Argues that religion is the greatest instrument for achieving true civilization, but warns that it can be diverted to the wrong ends. Rejects the possibility of a secular morality based on an "innate sense of human dignity", since "self-love is kneaded into the very clay of man". Issues a call for education reform, borrowing from other cultures as necessary, to restore the ancient glory of Persia.

Addresses a number of theological questions by implying that the answers lie in the realm of action, in the process elucidating several central Bahá’í teachings: that the Manifestations should be regarded as ‘divine physicians’ prescribing the remedy from age to age in accordance with the disease, that the unity of mankind is the remedy for the ills of today, that one should be ‘anxiously concerned with the needs of the age’ in which one lives and centre one’s deliberations ‘on its exigencies and requirements’, and that words should be matched with deeds and that both should be motivated by purity of intention.

The answers emphasize the importance of ‘He Whom God shall make manifest’ in the writings of the Báb, declare Bahá’u’lláh’s claim to be the fulfilment of that promise, assert that the relationship between the Báb and Bahá’u’lláh is the same as that between John the Baptist and Jesus Christ, and warn the questioner of the wrath of God.

His most important mystical composition, patterned in part after Faríd’u’d-Dín ‘Aṭṭár’s Manṭiqu’l-Ṭayr (‘The Conference of the Birds’), describing seven stages in the path of the spiritual wayfarers—‘search’, ‘love’, ‘knowledge’, ‘unity’, ‘contentment’, ‘wonderment’, and ‘true poverty and absolute nothingness’—and revealing that the source of conflict upon earth can be traced to the wayfarers’ lack of awareness of the relative truths to be found within each of these stages.
