Searching for Laylí

From "The Seven Valleys and the Four Valleys" by Baha'u'llah

'It is related that one day they came upon Majnún sifting the dust, and his tears flowing down. They said, “What doest thou?” He said, “I seek for Laylí.” They cried, “Alas for thee! Laylí is of pure spirit, and thou seekest her in the dust!” 

He said, “I seek her everywhere; haply somewhere I shall find her.”

Yea, although to the wise it be shameful to seek the Lord of Lords in the dust, yet this betokeneth intense ardor in searching. “Whoso seeketh out a thing with zeal shall find it.”'

Baha'i's of Bolivia Now as Then

Baha'is of Bolivia, 1970

     There are Bolivians who are keenly aware of the needs of the age in which they live and they're advancing civilization by proclaiming the reality of the unity of God, of religion, and of mankind.   

    These people consider themselves citizens of the world first and foremost, while at the same time endeavor to live up to their duty to be obedient to their government, for "Unity, order, and cooperation are the basis for sound and lasting change". *
