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.

Praises God for creating the "treasure of creation" in Paradise and manifesting fire and water together through His power.

Requests that through this serpent, God unites the hearts of His loved ones and brings them together, just as He brought together fire and water. Reflects on the wonders of God's creation and His mysterious works, including creating this serpent to test the strength of His devoted followers. Recognizes that despite the hardships caused by this serpent, the believers look to God for solace and continue to seek His divine grace. Acknowledges that God has promised heavenly rewards for the righteous and the punishment of hellfire for the disobedient. Expresses bewilderment at the workings of God and submits oneself to His will, seeking refuge in Him alone.
