The Baha'i's of Cincinnati
Empowerment
Knowledge and power are not owned.
Do not try to claim them,
nor deny your options to use them.
Toward what end do I direct my knowledge?
...honor us with the love of Thine Essence,
that we may be freed from turning toward ourselves
and toward all else save Thee...
...the Valleys above this see the end and the beginning as one...
and witness neither "first" nor "last."
...they fly from all that is first,
and repulse all that is last.
Do I feel a need for others to acknowledge my work?
Am I willing to humble my egoic self in order to transcend it?
